Removing Front Headlight Bulb on VW Polo

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 5, Polo V, MK 5, MK V, 6R - Years 2009-2017
Part: Headlight bulb

Are the front headlight bulbs on the Polo blown? Let's replace the front headlight bulbs. Open the bonnet by pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard and secure it with the prop. Simply remove the cap at the back of the front headlight. Disconnect the damaged bulbs using a screwdriver if it is difficult to remove them by hand. Install the new bulbs (always of the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holder into the headlight housing. Close the front lights with the closure caps. Turn on the headlights and check the operation of the new bulbs.

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.
