Remove the fender

Then carefully remove the fender.
Remove the taillight
Remove the cable from the cable guide, and then use a Phillips-head screwdriver to loosen the screw on the taillight.
Carefully pull the taillight out of the fender.
Install the taillight into the new fender
Insert the existing taillight into the new fender and secure it with the Phillips-head screw.
Run the cable and install the fender
Reinsert the cable into the cable guide and position the new fender correctly.

Make the connection and install the covers
Reconnect the tail light's plug. Then install the side covers on both sides using the 3 mm Allen wrench.
Check the result
After assembly, check to see if the taillight is working properly. Turn E-Scooter your VMAX E-Scooter and check to see if the taillight and brake light respond reliably.
