Replacement of Interior Bulbs with LED Model

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 6, Golf VI, Golf 6, 5K1 - Years 2008-2012
Part: Accessory kit

Replacing the interior bulbs with LED ones will give the cabin a more technical and modern appearance. The operation is extremely simple and does not require special tools: a plastic lever is sufficient to detach the light units; start with the ceiling lights, first the front and then the rear: pry laterally and along the edges to detach it, remove the original bulbs (T5 fitting) and insert the LED ones, ensuring correct polarity (if it does not light up, remove it and rotate it 180°); reattach the light unit. Move on to the courtesy lights under the sun visor (driver and passenger side): detach the light unit and remove the bulb; insert the LED ones ensuring correct polarity (if it does not light up, remove it and rotate it 180°); reattach the light unit. Repeat the same operation for the bulb in the scuff plate area, on both the driver and passenger sides (be careful when removing the plastic cover of the bulb holder). Similarly, replace the bulb in the glove compartment (a screwdriver with a bent tip may be useful to detach the bulb holder).

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Light on the Opel Grandland X

While driving, if you notice the tyre pressure warning light coming on, first check the actual inflation pressure of the tyres and, if necessary, restore the pressures recommended by the manufacturer. After restoring the correct pressures, you need to reset the warning light that has illuminated on the instrument cluster. To do this, locate the reset button on the lower central console. Press this button and hold it down for at least 3 seconds, after which the low pressure indication will turn off.
