We know that we cannot mount additional lights on the outside of our car, but nothing prevents us from installing illuminated profiles inside the door of our Audi A3. Let's see how to do it. These door profiles are only original BMW and cost about 500 Euros, which must be purchased at the dealership with the codes 5268020 and 5263658; however, everything will then be controlled by the MMI. The disassembly of the door has been simplified, but we are still given the opportunity to see where the screws to be removed are located.

We turn over the panel and remove the sound-absorbing lining, remove the profile and replace it with the illuminated one, for which we will build the electrical system; it will be enough to lay a wire, creating the connection with the existing system, and then we can put back the sound-absorbing lining; we will do the same for the rear door.

How to reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV?

To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV, inflate the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value. This value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
