In the Volkswagen Polo, how can the rear light bulb be replaced?

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 5, Polo V, MK 5, MK V, 6R - Years 2009-2017
Part: Tail light

The bulbs of the headlights, both front and rear, of your car are destined to burn out over time and therefore need to be replaced. For those who prefer to tackle such tasks themselves with relative ease, here is a video showing how to replace the rear headlight bulb of a Volkswagen Polo: open the hood, remove the carpet covering, unscrew the plastic locking pin, and pull out the entire optical unit. At this point, the job is almost done; all that's left to do is open the headlight from the back and replace the burnt-out bulb.

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.
