It is quite common for headlight covers to become cloudy due to sun exposure and the aging of the material, as traditional glass has now been replaced by polycarbonate. However, this material allows for a restoration that can make it shine like new. Start by masking the area around the headlight with masking tape.

Then, wet sand the headlight with very fine sandpaper until it becomes uniformly cloudy. Proceed to polish with abrasive paste, repeating the steps until the headlight shines again.

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.
