Installation & Fitment
Removal and installation are straightforward for anyone with basic mechanical skills. Typical steps:

- Unscrew the lamp assembly from the tailgate, disconnect the electrical connector and remove the old unit.
- Fit the replacement lamp, connect the wiring harness, test the brake light function, and re-fit the trim panel.
No specialized tools are normally required, but a trim tool and a small set of screwdrivers will make the job faster and reduce the risk of panel damage. If corrosion or damaged fasteners are present, additional tools or minor repairs may be necessary.
Common Failure Causes
