To dismantle the front headlights, you must first remove the front bumper: start by removing the central grille by unscrewing the relevant fixing screws; then remove the screws along the lower edge of the bumper and those inside the wheel arches, also removing the screws that secure the bumper edge to the wing.

At this point, unclip the bumper from the sides and pull it forward, disconnecting the side indicator bulbs.

You can now access the fixing screws of the headlights to unscrew them and free the headlights by disconnecting the relevant plugs.

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.
