On the Volkswagen Passat B6, the replacement of the 501 position lights and H7 dipped beam bulbs occurs from the rear of the headlamp. With the vehicle off and the bonnet open, remove the rear cover and disconnect the connector of the relevant bulb.

For the H7, release the retention (clip/bayonet depending on the setup), extract the bulb while maintaining its orientation, and insert the new one, avoiding contact with the glass; close the retention and reconnect the connector. For the 501 (W5W), extract the bulb holder and replace the bulb, checking the housing; then reinsert the bulb holder into the headlamp.

Finally, restore the rear cover and check the lights are functioning.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
