This brief tutorial shows how to change one of the two lights illuminating the rear number plate of a Mercedes Class M. Once you have identified the light to replace, open the boot to work more comfortably. Using a crosshead screwdriver, unscrew the two screws securing the small lamp holder and remove it. Pull out and replace the faulty bulb with a new one. Finally, reposition the lamp holder in its housing and screw the two crosshead screws back in.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
