Removing Front Headlights from a Volkswagen Passat

Model: Volkswagen Passat B7 - Years 2010-2014
Part: Headlight

Remove the headlights from a Volkswagen Passat along with the front bumper. First, lift the bonnet and secure it. Using a socket or battery-powered screwdriver, undo the securing bolts for the front bumper located at the top as shown in the video. Once this is done, undo the bolts on the wheel arch liners and finally remove the bolts at the bottom of the bumper. Carefully pull the bumper away from the vehicle body. Now, undo the securing bolts on the headlight bracket using a socket or battery-powered screwdriver. At the bottom of the headlight, you will find additional bolts; remove them from the metal plates (repeat this for both headlights). Disconnect the bulb holder from the headlight and pull the headlight out of the vehicle body. Fit the new headlight with new bulbs if damaged (ensure they are the correct type and size) and insert the headlight into its housing. Finally, tighten the bolts around the headlight and refit the bumper. Test the lights to ensure they are functioning correctly.

How to change the time on a Toyota Yaris

In this video we see how to change the time on a Toyota Yaris, specifically when it comes to switching from daylight saving time to standard time and vice versa. 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. All we want to do is just adjust the time format to 12 or 24 hours, as is customary in the area where we live: for example in Anglo-Saxon countries it is common to set the time to 12 hours, while in the European Union it is normally set to 24 hours.
