Video tutorial

In this video, you will learn how to remove the bulb from a BMW 3 Series E90, whether it is halogen or xenon. To access the bulb, you need to remove the front fender, which means you should also remove the wheel for better access by lifting the car with a jack: first, unscrew the fender screws to gain access to the back of the headlight.

Remove the torx screws and take off the cover: at this point, simply disconnect the electrical connector of the bulb and release the clip holding it in place: pull it out and replace it with the new one, reassembling everything in reverse order!

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Warning Light on a Kia Rio?

The tyre pressure warning light displayed on the instrument cluster of the Kia Rio can be reset by inflating the tyres until they reach the recommended pressure value: this value is indicated on the sticker affixed to the driver's door pillar. Once all tyres have been inflated to the recommended pressure, turn on the ignition to check that the light has disappeared: if it is still present, it may be necessary to drive for a few miles, allowing the sensors to work and thus turning off the light.
