First, use some plastic tools to avoid scratching or damaging the bodywork when you start to remove the plastic trim located under the headlamp. From there, leverage with a socket wrench, using an extension, to insert it into the space under the trim, trying to loosen the retaining bolt without unscrewing it completely.

Start unscrewing the screws located on the upper side of the headlamp assembly, attempting to remove the upper cover by pulling it outward, taking care with the electrical wires connected to the lights. Once the piece is open, disconnect the connectors and wires, and remove the complex wiring to replace the headlamp and the connected bulb.

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.
