2015 Lavida brake light replacement method: First open the rear trunk, there is a white screw on the reverse side of the taillight, unscrew the screw and remove the plug, then take out the old brake light and replace it with a new one. The brake light is installed at the rear of the vehicle and is red in color to enhance the penetration of the light source, making it easier for vehicles behind to detect the braking of the vehicle in front even under low visibility conditions, thereby preventing rear-end collisions. The 2015 Lavida is an independently developed A-segment car launched by Shanghai Volkswagen, with a body length, width, and height of 4605mm, 1765mm, and 1460mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2610mm. In terms of appearance, the front face design of the 2015 Lavida is significantly different from previous A-segment models under Volkswagen, especially its unique teardrop-shaped headlight design.

I often repair cars by myself, and changing the brake light on a 2015 Lavida is actually quite simple. First, you need to open the trunk. There's usually an interior trim panel behind the taillight, which can be gently pried open with a small screwdriver or your fingers. Once you see the bulb socket, twist it slightly and pull it out—the Lavida commonly uses a P21W bulb model, so remember this when buying a new one for replacement. Before installation, make sure the car is turned off to avoid burns; avoid touching the glass part of the new bulb with your hands to prevent oil stains that could affect its lifespan. The whole process takes no more than 15 minutes, saving you money on repair shops. While you're at it, check other bulbs and wiring connections for stability to prevent potential hazards. Just use a small household screwdriver—no risks involved. Doing it once will help you remember, making it even easier next time.

I just learned how to replace the brake lights last year, and the 2015 Lavida is quite beginner-friendly. Remember to turn off the engine and engage the handbrake first—safety comes first. Open the trunk and look inside to locate the tail light area, which is secured with plastic cover clips. Gently press the edges to remove it. When taking out the old bulb, be steady and avoid using too much force, as it may crack. The new bulb model is P21W—don’t get the wrong one; you can buy it online or at an auto parts store. When installing, align it with the socket and twist it firmly into place. Test whether it lights up when you press the brake. The whole process costs less than 10 yuan and takes just ten minutes. I also took the opportunity to wipe the dust off the lens cover to make the light brighter. Beginners should be careful not to mix up the left and right light positions. Regular checks can extend the lifespan of the parts.
