First, ensure that the key is not in the ignition for safety, then go to the back of the vehicle and remove the first lamp holder by releasing the clip on the outer edge. Once done, extract the bulb by turning it slightly counterclockwise. Finally, insert the replacement bulb, preferably LED, reassemble everything, and repeat the process for the opposite light if necessary. Avoid touching the new bulbs directly with bare hands.

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.
