To replace the rear light bulb on a Volkswagen Tiguan, open the rear hatch of the car to access the screws securing the light unit: these screws are located next to the light itself. Once it is freed from its housing, disconnect the connector inside: this will allow you to remove the bulb and replace it with a new spare part.

Connect the new bulb and insert it back into the light: the unit can now be secured with the screws, ensuring everything is functioning correctly.
