Replacing the bulb for the central brake light on a Smart Fortwo is extremely simple. The housing for the third brake light bulb is secured by two T10 Torx screws, one on the far right and one on the far left.

Just unscrew these Torx screws, and the housing will come out easily. At this point, with the light unit in one hand, disconnect the connector by releasing the locking tab. Turn the bulb, with its rear holder, counterclockwise, and it will come out of the light unit.

Remove the old bulb and insert the new one; it couldn't be easier.

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.
