Good morning,
I am a woman who knows nothing about mechanics and I started changing this rear light to be able to pass my Clio to the MOT without much conviction, and yet the tutorial is so well explained that I succeeded without problem so do not hesitate to get started! Thank you very much Florent, thanks to you, I avoided garage fees which were probably exorbitant! and I hope an MOT is ok! :)
Well done and thank you Florent for this magnificent tutorial.
