It's not a job that is done very often, but it can happen that over time the bulb for the rear license plate light of our car, in this specific case the Volkswagen Up, burns out. This could be the perfect opportunity to decide to replace the entire bulb holder and upgrade it to a more modern LED version, so let's get to work: we use a small flathead screwdriver to pry and detach the bulb holder from the license plate, disconnect it from the power cable connector, connect the new one, and reassemble it in place of the old one. Done! Now all that's left is to turn on the lights and test its functionality.

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.
