Let's see how to replace the license plate light on a Ford Fusion 2013/2017: the bulb is integrated into the plastic of the hatch, just above the license plate. Access it from the outside, without needing to remove any interior panels.

The replacement bulb is usually a W5W, and you'll also need a small screwdriver for the clips. If you look at the license plate light, you'll find a small plastic tab (usually on the top side); unlock the light by pressing the tab inward and then pull it outward.

Once unlocked, gently pull out the entire housing. Rotate the bulb socket counterclockwise to unlock it and pull it out. Insert a new bulb (without touching the glass with your fingers) and close the light assembly.

Perform a test to see if it works.

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Warning Light on a Kia Rio?

The tyre pressure warning light displayed on the instrument cluster of the Kia Rio can be reset by inflating the tyres until they reach the recommended pressure value: this value is indicated on the sticker affixed to the driver's door pillar. Once all tyres have been inflated to the recommended pressure, turn on the ignition to check that the light has disappeared: if it is still present, it may be necessary to drive for a few miles, allowing the sensors to work and thus turning off the light.
