CD Changer Cleaning Instructions

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Car stereo

The CD changer unit on the car model shown in the video (and generally on almost all BMW models) is located in the trunk, on the side: access the trunk, remove the side carpet cover, and locate the CD changer unit; disconnect the connector and remove the screws from the support plate to take the unit out of its place; it is recommended to work on a clean surface, perhaps covered with a white cloth or a sheet of paper to keep track of any parts that may come loose during disassembly; then remove the outer covers and clean the corroded areas, using compressed air to dust off.

How to Replace the Front Headlamp Bulbs on a Mazda 3

Learn how to replace the front headlamp bulbs on a Mazda 3 with LED bulbs: open the bonnet (pull the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard), and secure it with the prop rod. Locate the inspection cap of the headlamp (located at the rear of the headlamp) and remove it. At this point, you will find the bulbs with metal clips; pull the bulb holders out of the headlamp and extract the bulbs using a screwdriver. Install the new LED bulbs (ensuring the type and size are correct) and insert the bulb holder back into the headlamp housing. Refit all previously removed parts.
