    2 new pages with 7 photos... Iconic User-Guide

    It tells you what to do and shows you what to look for.

    At some point, you'll probably end up needing to change one of those $1.70 light bulbs for the license plate. The process is fairly simple and only takes a few minutes. But if you don't know what you're dealing with in advance, it can be a bit intimidating to force the hatch cover off.

    Those 2 new pages in particular you contributed to with your how-to video. I had no idea what to expect before having seen that. Thanks!

    You do realize that you can pull the lower glovebox straight off the
    two clips it hinges on without having to dump all the contents, right?

    I had to use pliers to turn the bulb holders and get them out. Fortunately, no damage and everything back together again now
