Introduction
If your 2010-2014 BMW X6 (E71) tail light is flickering, dime or not lighting up at all on either the right, left, or top of the vehicle, use this guide to replace the rear tail light.
The Tail light bulb is responsible for shining a red light to signal to sounding vehicles that you are slowing down or stopping.
Before using this guide, inspect the car battery and fuse by a local mechanic or use a multimeter to the positive and negative of the car battery to check if the car has full voltage before proceeding to replace the rear brake bulk/light.
Before beginning, make sure to let the car completely cool off.
