Part: Headlight

This guide shows how to replace the front headlamp of your car. First, purchase a new headlamp from a dealer. If the car has been running, wait before starting work. Open the bonnet and secure it with the prop rod. The headlamp to be replaced is attached to the body with screws and connected to the battery with wires. First, disconnect the connectors of the headlamp wires, which are usually easily visible. Next, use a cross-head screwdriver to remove the screws securing the headlamp to the body. You can then remove the headlamp.

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.
