Video tutorial

In this video, you will see how to remove the front headlight bulb from the Volkswagen New Beetle up to the year 2011. First, open the bonnet of your car: unscrew the headlight support screw and then remove the surrounding water tubes (this will give you more space).

At this point, extract the headlight from your New Beetle by disconnecting the connector and pressing the tab. To remove the bulb, lift the tab and take off the plastic cover: unclip the spring and pull out the 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.
