    Hello, I changed everything except my old one. Can someone help me please?

    Djen - Resolved on Release Reply

    Thank you very well done. I would say it is level 1.5.

    This helped me a lot because I don't even know where the car manual is anymore, it doesn't fit in the glove compartment.

A huge thank you for this timely tutorial. Obviously, with my characteristic bad luck, I came across the only left rear light that refused to come off easily. So much so that I tested it on its right brother to see if it was me or it :-). Well, by passing a flexible plastic spatula between the bodywork and the light, it came off like a big boy without forcing.

I saved 15-20€ at the garage thanks to you and I feel less stupid in front of my car!

Hello, for me it's the right rear position light that no longer works. I don't understand what the bulb is: is it the same as the indicator? Thank you

Hello JM, were you able to disassemble this connector?

I am installing a universal tow bar harness and need to be able to identify the wires…

THANKS,

Aymeric

Good morning,

Thank you very much for sharing this information.

Hello

I wanted to remove the connector for added security by lifting the orange locking piece of the connector on the schematic.

I pulled the connector very hard and couldn't get it to unplug. It was as if something else had to be done to get it to unlock.

Thanks for anyone who can help me.

For the 1/4 turn

a coin will do too!

Thanks for the tutorial

Hello, I just did the procedure and it only took me 5 minutes.

To remove the plastic latch I used the ignition key and it works perfectly.

THANKS !

What a time saver! I replaced the brake light on the right rear light, no difficulty after reading your tutorial and seeing the photos, 5 minutes is enough.

Tip for those who don't have a screwdriver large enough to turn the plastic latch [red step 1]: use a metal cutlery handle (fork, teaspoon, etc.), flat and straight.
