To replace the front headlamp bulb, you do not need to remove anything as there is enough space behind the headlamp to work; therefore, disconnect the protective cap of the bulb holder by turning it slightly anti-clockwise; similarly, detach the bulb holder and then pull the bulb from the socket; install the new bulb, avoiding touching the glass envelope with your fingers, secure the bulb holder to the headlamp, and reposition the cap; if you notice a difference in brightness when turning on the headlights, replace the other bulb as well.

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.
