Interior Led's

Does anyone know how the UK front dome light come apart? There is a video that shows the USA cars have a sunglassess holder which flips down revealing 2 screws. Our UK cars have a blanking plate instead of the sunglassess holder. Does this need to be removed to reveal the screws or do we have 2 clips which can be popped off like the ones at the back of this overhead unit?

Yes, it's basically the same procedure, you just have to prise open the blank trim and then there are two screws to remove as shown in the video. The trim still pivots from the windscreen side so prise open from the front edge then it will pivot open. As the gap around the trim is small you need to take care not to damage the trim itself. Best to use something plastic rather than a metal screw driver.

I did mine a few weeks back.

I find on most interior trim one of those I-Pod or I-Phone plastic opening tools works without causing damage, they cost only a couple of pounds for 2-3 and are always on Fleabay.

As Carl said, just prise down the front edge and it will pivot as in the video. The rear domes are a bit harder as they are quite tightly fitted.

Thats great. Thank you for all of your advice

Fitted these today. Looks great. Good simple mod. The rear dome light took the longest time!
