To replace the front headlight bulb on a Renault Clio 3, you need to remove the headlight. Open the bonnet and locate the fixing screws of the headlight unit to the bodywork.

Unscrew the upper and side or lower bolts, then grasp the headlight and gently pull it outwards to free it from the housing. Once removed, locate the bulb holder at the back of the headlight, disconnect the electrical connector, and turn the bulb holder anti-clockwise to extract the burnt bulb.

Insert the new bulb of the same type, turn the bulb holder clockwise to secure it, reconnect the connector, and reassemble the headlight by repositioning it in the housing and tightening all the fixing screws.

How to Activate the Disabled TRC on the Toyota Yaris?

As the video clearly shows, disabling or activating the traction control (TRC or ESP) on the Toyota Yaris is very simple. By default, the traction system activates every time the vehicle is started. To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
