Headlight Bulb Height Adjustment

Model: BMW Serie 3 E91, E90, E92 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Light bulb

To reposition the lights on this model, you don’t need to visit a mechanic or auto electrician; you can easily perform this simple and quick operation yourself, saving unnecessary costs. Lift the hood, and just above the headlight, you will notice a plastic bolt that, when turned, allows you to raise or lower the headlight position. To see the changes, make sure you are in a dim environment with dark panels to observe the adjustments. You can also adjust the fog lights using a bolt located slightly higher and to the left of the headlight in question.

How to Remove the Mirror Cap on a Toyota Auris

How to proceed with the removal of the mirror cap on a Toyota Auris? Use a plastic lever to detach the mirror cap and the mirror itself. Pry until the cover comes off the mirror (this operation is very delicate as it may break). Once the piece is removed, take out the side indicator (for replacement), and you can replace it with the new one. Refit the new mirror cover by inserting it into the mirror and securing the plastic with the appropriate clips. Check the correct functioning of the part.
