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.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
