How to Remove the Rear Light on a Volkswagen Tiguan?

Model: Volkswagen Tiguan 5N, MK 1 - Years 2007-2016
Part: Checks and maintenance

To remove the rear light on a Volkswagen Tiguan, open the tailgate to access the side protection panel next to the light. Once this panel is removed, you will find the screws underneath that need to be loosened to pull the light from its housing. After removing the light unit, disconnect the connectors at the back and connect the new replacement part. Once replaced, reconnect the light by inserting it back into its housing and securing it with the appropriate screws.
