Removing the rear lamp is extremely simple and does not require special tools; once the rear bonnet is opened, remove the protective caps from the screws securing the lamp, located on the inner edge; after removing the caps, unscrew the underlying screws; then remove the pressure clip of the carpeted inner trim just behind the lamp, inside the boot, move the trim away and disconnect the power connector of the lamp and the grommet; then pull the lamp outwards: the video shows two effective techniques to avoid damaging the lamp, namely using a piece of string or a plastic lever.

Once the lamp is removed, you can replace the bulbs by releasing the bulb holder (bayonet fitting) and extracting the bulbs (T5 fitting).

To replace the brake lights located on the bonnet, simply release the pressure clips and move the carpeted trim.

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.
