How to Remove the Rear Light of the Mini Cooper

Model: Mini Mini F56, F57, F54, F55 - Years 2014-2023
Part: Tail light

This video demonstrates how to replace the rear light on the Mini Cooper F55, F56, and F57. This procedure is useful when the lights are damaged from wear over time and you want to replace them with new lights in good condition. This procedure is very simple and quick to perform. To remove the light, gently pry with a plastic trim tool or a flathead screwdriver along the edges to remove the cover. Once the cover is removed, use a T20 Torx key to unscrew the locking screws of the light. After removing the screws, pull the light outwards. Once the light is removed, disconnect the connector. After disconnecting the connector, proceed with the replacement by attaching the new light to the connector, inserting it into place, and screwing in the previously removed screws. Finally, reinsert the plastic cover of the light.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
