Need to replace the bulbs in the rear light on a Tiguan? Start by removing the rear light to replace the bulbs. Open the boot lid, then unscrew the fixing screws located at the side of the light using a screwdriver.

Detach the rear light from its housing once all screws are removed (disconnect the power connectors) and replace the damaged bulbs with new ones (same size and voltage). Reconnect the power connectors and then secure the light to the car body.

Turn on the dashboard and test the operation of the bulbs.

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.
