This video tutorial demonstrates how to replace the number plate lights on a Volkswagen Transporter T5, following a few simple steps: purchase the bulbs (12 Volt - 5 Watt) for the number plate light from an auto parts retailer. Take a Phillips screwdriver and unscrew the fixing screws counterclockwise (be careful when removing the screws, as the lamp unit may fall); ensure you do not lose the screws or the small seals.

Once the screws are removed, take out the lamp unit; if necessary, use a flathead screwdriver to pry it out. Remove the old bulb and install the new bulb in place, then reassemble everything in reverse order.

How to Activate the Disabled TRC on the Toyota Yaris?

As the video clearly shows, disabling or activating the traction control (TRC or ESP) on the Toyota Yaris is very simple. By default, the traction system activates every time the vehicle is started. To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
