How to Replace the Rear Light of a Volkswagen Golf

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Tail light

To replace the rear light of a Volkswagen Golf, you need to completely remove the two parts that make up the light assembly, which are positioned on the rear side of the frame and on the outer part of the tailgate. In both cases, to remove these two parts, you will need to detach the plastic cover located inside, corresponding to the light: under this cover, you will find a knob that must be unscrewed in order to extract the light from its housing. Once the old light has been removed, you can insert the new one, securing it properly.
