• Use the flat side of the reversible screwdriver blade.
• Pry off the cover at the recess using the screwdriver, Fig. 267, and remove the cover together with its fastener.
• Using a screwdriver, loosen the screw behind it anticlockwise (arrow) (2) and carefully remove it.

Warning!

Remove and install the tail light carefully to avoid damaging the components.

• Removing the tail light in particular can damage the vehicle paint and the tail light itself. For this reason, we recommend having a specialist replace the bulbs.

Place the light assembly on a soft cloth to prevent scratches.
