Removal
1. Turn off the ignition and taillights.
2. Disconnect the battery.
3. Open the rear hatch.
4. Remove cover 1 by releasing it from the clips (see arrows in the illustration).
To do this, use a wire hook that goes into a small hole at the bottom on the inside of the overlay. The overlay should be removed first from the bottom, then from the top.
5. Unscrew the two headlight mounting bolts (see arrows in the illustration).
6. Move the headlight slightly outward (see arrows in the illustration). In this case, the headlight holders will be removed from the spherical heads of the support pins 2.
7. Disconnect the connectors on the back of the headlight and remove the headlight.
Installation
The rear light is installed in the reverse order of removal. When installing, place the headlight holders on the support pins with spherical heads and press on the headlight to secure it.

Be careful not to damage the retaining tabs on the pad.
