2 Answers
Baojun 510 rear taillight removal method: 1. First, open the tailgate and remove the rear snap-on horizontal cover plate by pulling it off with a little force. 2. After removing the horizontal cover plate, the screws on both sides underneath will be exposed. Remove these screws to take off the remaining plastic cover plates. 3. Once the excess plastic cover plates are removed, you can see the rear taillight screws hidden inside the tailgate. These screws need to be removed using a socket wrench. There are also two screws on the edge of the tailgate; remove them as well. 4. When removing the final screws, hold the rear taillight with your hand to prevent it from falling and getting damaged.
I've helped friends remove the Baojun 510 taillights many times during repairs—it's essentially a six-step process: First, pry open the inner trunk liner to expose the plastic cover behind the light assembly. Use a flathead screwdriver to pop open those three or four plastic clips, and you'll see two metal nuts—a 10mm socket wrench works best here. Once the nuts are off, the entire light assembly will loosen. Support the light with one hand while gently pushing it outward—those plastic tabs are brittle, so avoid brute force. When there's about two fingers' width of clearance, quickly disconnect the power plug by pressing the clip and wiggling it side to side for a secure removal. Pro tip: Snap a photo of the rear bumper before starting—when reinstalling, make sure the rubber seal aligns perfectly.
