To replace the rear brake light bulb, you need to remove the light unit: open the boot and unscrew the three plastic nuts that secure the light to the bodywork, pull the light away from its housing and disconnect the bulb holder (bayonet fitting); then extract the bulb from the holder by simply pulling it out (T5 fitting), insert the new bulb, reconnect the bulb holder and refit the light unit by tightening the securing nuts.

If you notice a difference in brightness between the newly replaced bulb and the other light, it is advisable to replace the latter as well.

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.
