Replacing the rear headlamp bulb is one of the simple maintenance tasks. This guide shows how to carry out this replacement easily.

You will need a new bulb and a screwdriver. First, remove the headlamp by unscrewing the two screws that attach the black plastic of the headlamp to the frame.

Remove the screws and carefully extract the headlamp. Once completely separated, remove the plastic connector that joins the wires to the headlamp by lifting the plastic tab located at the bottom.

Now unclip the four plastic tabs that secure the base where the bulbs sit to the rest of the headlamp and extract the base. Then insert the new bulb, ensuring that the two protrusions on the base fit into the appropriate slots, and then slightly rotate the bulb to secure it.

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.
