To remove the front headlights, first take off the front grille, which consists of two parts on each side: one around the smaller inner headlight and one around the larger outer headlight. The video illustrates how to proceed in detail, using a small knife for leverage where necessary and a screwdriver to remove the mounting screws.

The operation is performed on the W210 model (pre-facelift). If your vehicle has windshield washer nozzles, the removal may be slightly more complex, as they will also need to be removed.

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.
