Replacing the position light bulbs in a BMW 3 Series E90 is a very simple task. As shown, the optical group is accessible from the small door located at the front of the wheel well, but since the light in question is positioned too low, you need to remove the wheel well itself.

To do this, simply unscrew the 6 screws that hold it to the body. Once removed, take off the light cover, disconnect the connector, and extract the bulb after unscrewing the two securing screws.

Finally, install the replacement and reassemble everything by following the reverse procedure.

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.
