2 Answers
Method for replacing the reverse light on a Volkswagen Bora: First, disconnect the power supply, remove the dust cover at the back of the light, then press and hold the rotating handle at the rear of the light to unscrew it, followed by installing the new light. After replacing the tail light, reattach the dust cover. The car reverse light is installed at the rear of the vehicle, used to illuminate the road behind when reversing and serves to alert vehicles and pedestrians behind. In terms of interior, the Volkswagen Bora Sport Edition features black sports seats with red stitching, sports metal pedals, a black-and-white instrument panel, and a three-spoke sports steering wheel. In terms of power, the Volkswagen Bora Sport Edition is equipped with a 1.4T engine paired with a 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission, delivering a maximum output power of 96 kilowatts.
Last time I replaced the reverse light on my Volkswagen Bora at home, it went quite smoothly. You need to prepare the tools first: a new bulb, a screwdriver, and gloves. Remove the car key and turn off the engine, ensuring the car is parked on level ground. Open the trunk lid and locate the tail light assembly. The reverse light on the Bora is usually on the bottom right or left. Gently pry open the plastic cover with your hand, avoiding excessive force to prevent cracking. Once you see the bulb socket, rotate it counterclockwise to remove the old bulb. Compare the model number to buy a new one, then insert it back into place and tighten it clockwise. After replacement, start the car and shift into reverse to test. If the light turns on, it's a success; if it flickers or doesn't light up, check the contact points. Common issues are usually due to incorrect bulb models or improper installation. The whole process takes about 15 minutes. Those who often do DIY know that regular maintenance can extend the lifespan of parts and save money.
