If your car is still under warranty, Mini will replace it for free

Ummm, the procedure for removing the bulbs starts on page 222 of your owner's manual, which is in your glove box, or accessed here: https://www.miniusa.com/owners/tools...r-manuals.html You can also access a digital version of the owner's manual from the center console without even getting out of your car. But you'd have to read the owner's manual to know that! :-)

You just remove the tow hook cover and unscrew a set screw. Mini even gives you a screw driver as standard equipment! (But again, you'd probably have to read the manual to know that!) There are so many interesting things in the owner's manual...Anyway, it literally takes about 20 seconds to pop out the tail light assemblies and check the bulbs. (I've done it, so I'm not exaggerating. 20 seconds. Ok, 60 seconds for your 1st time.). You have to insert the screw driver at an upward angle. If you use a small flash light, you will immediately see the screw that you have to turn.
