In this video, we will see how to change the rear indicator bulb on a Volkswagen Tiguan: start by opening the tailgate and removing the protective cover that conceals the two access screws for the light; after unscrewing them, open the flap located on the side of the boot (for the left indicator) and find a bolt to unscrew to free the light.

At this point, the light is free, and you can disconnect the electrical connectors, remove the rubber cover, and access the bulb, which you can then easily remove and replace.
