How to replace the rear headlight bulb of the Mercedes SLK

Model: Mercedes Slk R170, MK 1 - Years 1997-2004
Part: Tail light bulb

The instructions in this guide will show us how to disassemble and replace the rear headlight or stop light bulb of the Mercedes SLK. First, we open the rear trunk door and start unscrewing the screws of the plastic side partition, located behind the tail light; then we disconnect the electrical connector of the bulb, removing it together with the bulb holder, as shown in the video. At this point, we replace and install the new stop light bulb, of the correct type and with the same attachment; we reassemble everything and check the operation of the stop lights!

How to change the time on a Toyota Yaris

In this video we see how to change the time on a Toyota Yaris, specifically when it comes to switching from daylight saving time to standard time and vice versa. We go to the multifunction screen and press "settings": from there we go to press the clock, simply click on daylight saving time, and the clock will change the time for us, without doing anything else. All we want to do is just adjust the time format to 12 or 24 hours, as is customary in the area where we live: for example in Anglo-Saxon countries it is common to set the time to 12 hours, while in the European Union it is normally set to 24 hours.
