How to access the fuse box in BMW 1 Series?

Model: BMW Serie 1 MK 1, E87, E82, E81 - Years 2004-2013
Part: Fuse box

In the BMW 1 Series, in addition to the fuse box located inside the engine compartment, there is another located behind the glove compartment drawer, on the passenger side. In this video we can see how to access it. First, open the drawer and disconnect the shock absorber on the left, then grab it at the back and press the two corners inwards to release the pins. Once this is done, we place the drawer on the ground. At this point we can find the box covered by a plastic door and a sheet showing the fuse diagram.

How to Remove the Interior Light of a Mini

Remove the interior light of a Mini: use a screwdriver or plastic lever to pry between the cover and the light itself (avoid damaging the headlining), pull the cover out from the panel and disconnect the power connector after removing it. Replace the damaged bulb with a new one (same size and voltage). Refit the light into its housing (push it in with your hands until the metal clips are fully locked). Test the light's functionality before completely refitting the piece.
