To replace the bulb, you only need a screwdriver. To replace the bulb and lens, you must disassemble the entire light assembly.

The screws are accessible under the bumper cover near the light. After removing the two screws with a wrench, disconnect the light by first removing the connector.

Once the light is removed, take out the socket and replace the front lens. Carefully replace the faulty bulb by pressing it slightly and turning it counterclockwise until it unlocks.

Install the new bulb using one with the same specifications. Reattach the screws for the socket and reposition the light assembly in its housing, connecting the corresponding connector.

Tighten the screws carefully.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
