Video tutorial

We can see in this video how to change the bulb of a Ford Focus MK2: make sure that the headlight switch is turned off; the headlight is held in place by three 10mm bolts, and we will use a flathead screwdriver, but first we need to remove the grille by removing the four clips that hold it in place, using a plastic spatula, then using a 10mm socket wrench, remove the bolts holding the headlight.

Now, using the spatula, remove the headlight assembly from its housing, but be careful of the electrical connections at the back; remove the electrical connector of the bulb that needs to be replaced, by turning the cap counterclockwise.

Remember to never touch the bulb with bare hands. Replace the bulb by rotating it counterclockwise and reposition the assembly.

Replace the bolts and then the clips of the grille. Job done.

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.
