To reset the yellow warning light on a Rover 75 dashboard indicating a blown bulb, first, check and replace any faulty bulbs. After replacing the bulb(s), disconnect the vehicle's battery for about 10 minutes to reset the system. Reconnect the battery, and the warning light should turn off. If the light persists, it may require a diagnostic tool to clear any remaining error codes.
