When removing or installing the rear light, take care not to cause any damage.
- Removing the rear light in particular can lead to the paintwork or rear light becoming damaged. This is another reason why we recommend having the bulbs changed by a qualified workshop.
- NEVER use metal tools (e.g. a screwdriver) or sharp or pointed plastic tools to lever out the rear light - risk of damaging the paint.
Note
Make sure you have a soft cloth ready to place under the glass on the rear light, to avoid any scratches.
