How to Replace the Number Plate Lights on a Fiat Grande Punto

Model: Fiat Punto MK 3, Punto EVO, 199, Grandepunto - Years 2005-2018
Part: License plate light

In this video, we see how to replace the number plate lights on a Fiat Grande Punto. In fact, the lights work, but the vehicle indicates they are faulty; this is likely a Can-Bus resistor issue. Therefore, the YouTuber replaces the installed LEDs with filament bulbs "xenon effect". You can find them, for example, on Amazon with the code B099X6S3BT, priced at £14.55 for a kit of 2 bulbs. Replacing them is very simple. Just push inwards and then downwards on the lever on the number plate light's ceiling unit, which will come off easily. Pull the bulb holder out, remove the LED bulb, and insert the filament one. Now put it back in place and repeat on the other side. Turn the key in the ignition and see that the error has disappeared, and the light is functioning correctly.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
