This video shows how to refresh a BMW 3 Series E46 by simply installing white front and side turn signals. You can find many types online: in addition to those recommended by the YouTuber, we highlight the code B07VYZWDMK at $35.40 per pair, with free shipping for Prime customers.

For the side turn signals, the installation is very simple: just remove the old ones using a plastic pry tool and replace the lens with the new one. For some reason, the right turn signal did not fit well, but the left one - hopefully this is the case for everyone - just requires inserting a long screwdriver into the hole on the outer edge of the hood.

This presses a bracket that allows the turn signal to come out; then simply place the new one in its spot, and you're all set.

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.
