On the Hyundai Kona MK2, the rear light consists of two parts: the outer light (on the body, with stop and indicator) and the inner light (on the tailgate, with reverse and fog light). For the outer light: open the tailgate and remove the plastic service cover (it slides out with a flat screwdriver).

Unscrew the fixing screws with a cross screwdriver. Extract the light unit from the body.

Disconnect the electrical connector. To replace the bulb: rotate the bulb holder counter-clockwise, pull it out, press the bulb and rotate it counter-clockwise to remove it. For the inner light (on the tailgate): open the tailgate and remove the service cover.

Unscrew the fixing screws or nuts and disconnect the connector. If the Kona has LED lights, this cannot be replaced individually: the entire light unit must be replaced, and it is advisable to consult a Hyundai dealer.

For halogen versions, however, replacing the bulb is straightforward. The video mentions removing the bumper and wheel arch, but for the Kona MK2, this is not necessary for the outer light: just the screws accessible from the tailgate are sufficient.

How to Adjust the Rear Seats of the BMW X1

In this video, see how the BMW X1's cargo area can be used to transport large loads. To expand this area, the rear seat can be folded down with a 40/20/40 split, each section can be folded separately or all together. The seats can be adjusted independently to provide more space for passengers or cargo: to do this, pull the handle located at the bottom and push or pull as needed. To position the backrest in the desired position, there is a cordura handle on the left side. Inside the trunk, there are buttons that automatically fold the backrests of the rear seats forward, but only after ensuring they are clear. They can be returned to an upright position manually using the cordura handle.
