Replace and update the Mini Cooper rear light block.

Model: Mini Mini R56, R57, R55 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Tail light

Before starting any mechanical maintenance operation on cars, it is necessary to place the car itself on a plane or on the bridge to be able to work on it safely. So, after taking this precaution, in order to replace and update the rear light unit of the Mini Cooper, we must first remove, using a plastic lever, the chrome frame of the headlight unit. Below, along the perimeter, we find three screws that we unscrew, using the suitable screwdriver. This way, we have access to the bulbs, in case we want to replace any of them. In this case, however, we disconnect the power supply and replace the entire headlight block with a new LED one. Let's reassemble everything and that's it!

How to Install Roof Bars on a Fiat 500X

Learn how to equip your car with universal roof bars. Universal roof bars are used on cars with and without roof rails (fixed bars secured to the car roof). Install the roof bar kit as shown in the video with the bars calibrated according to the width of the car. Position the brackets at both ends of the doors on the car's original roof rails. Once the width of the anchoring brackets is adjusted, tighten the bolts with the butterfly nut (if a lock is present) until fully secured to the roof rails. Finally, apply the safety caps on your Fiat.
