removing front interior light covers

[team_v]

I can't work it out either mate.
It doesn't seem to have any way to access them.

I am hoping to work it out to swap over some higher output bulbs.

Try pry out the sunglasses compartment (gently!) that may reveal some screws which hold the light to the roof lining.

I've worked out the rear one - the lens just push out/in, but buggered if I can work out the front.

here you go (the secret to success is using precision tools of course ):







Bulk buy on LEDs anyone?

Thanks for the diagrams

I am definitely going to try souricng LED's for this now.
From memory as the4y are low output lights you don't need the ones with resistors as they won't throw a fault code?

Also i believe they are 37mm bulbs?

I have changed every interior (you can think of) to LED including boot, vanity & footwell!
As well as the exteriors (f & r).

Interiors don't throw any fault code. But exteriors will! So buy ones with in-built resistors.

Looking at the pics posted, there appears to be a difference between cars with and without sunroof.
For me, the front bulbs were the easiest to install.
However the rear passenger lights directly above each door was the toughest to work out.

For consistency of colour, I would suggest you buy LEDs with the same Kelvins all round. With that in mind, I would suggest Pure White (5000K). There's definitely a big difference between Cool White and Pure White. So double check with sellers first, if they don't specify the colour.

At night, the whole cabin looks like its lit up under fluoro tubes.

But would suggest you buy the expensive ones (i.e. 37mm) that are fit for use as licence plates, as they tend to be the brightest for the interior.

As for parkers ... don't go for LEDs with a big head or bulb, as will not fit in the hole. Has to be the same diameter all along as the end plug.
