Open the trunk and position it to see the light housing for better access. Use a screwdriver to gently pry the edge of the clear plastic lens (covering the bulb housing) and carefully remove it. With the screwdriver, gently pull the bulb from the housing between the electrodes and replace it with the new one, positioning it with your fingers between the two electrodes.

Now, gently reposition the small plastic lens that covers the housing using your hands. The car is a BMW 3 Series from 1999-2005.

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.
