Fitting overview, tools & estimated labour
General fitting sequence
- Park safely, switch the ignition off and open the rear hatch.
- Protect surrounding paint and trim. Remove/loosen the relevant upper tailgate/hatch trim using appropriate non-marring trim tools.
- Locate the high-level stop lamp electrical connector and disconnect it without pulling on the wiring.
- Identify the actual retaining screws/clips on your vehicle and remove them with the correct driver/tool.
- Remove the old lamp carefully, noting seal and locating-tab position.
- Compare old and replacement lamps side-by-side: part number, connector, mounting ears, lens shape and overall dimensions must agree before installation.
- Install the replacement evenly without overtightening plastic mounting points.
- Reconnect the electrical plug, refit trim, then test the brake light before driving. Check for secure fit and correct sealing.
Typical tools to have available
- Plastic/non-marring trim removal tools
- Small screwdriver/driver set and socket/bit set matched to the fasteners actually fitted
- Small pick for connector locking tabs if required
- Work light, gloves and trim protection cloth
Estimated workshop labour: allow approximately 0.5–1.0 hour as a planning estimate depending on trim access, seized/damaged clips, wiring checks and final testing. This is an estimate, not a fixed labour time.
