bly. Removing the light requires a certain degree of practical
skill.

and remove the cover (with all the retaining clips) from the
opening.
– Carefully loosen the screw located behind the cover with a
screwdriver, turning it anticlockwise (arrows) 2
.

CAUTION
When removing or installing the tail light, take care not to cause any dam-
age.
● Removing the tail light in particular can lead to the paintwork or tail light
becoming damaged. This is another reason why we recommend having the
bulbs changed by a specialised workshop.
Note
Make sure you have a soft cloth ready to place under the glass on the rear
light unit, to avoid any scratches. 
