One method to restore the shine of headlights dulled by time and weather conditions is to use very fine sandpaper. Surround the headlights with masking tape to avoid scratching the bodywork near the headlights during the process.

Then, sand the headlights, trying to apply the same pressure everywhere and performing the operation uniformly. Once this operation is repeated on all affected surfaces, clean the headlights with a cleaner and a cloth to remove the sanded material.

Once cleaned, you will notice that the headlights have regained their original clarity.

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.
