    removing front interior light covers

    Anyone know how to get to the bulbs in the front roof lights? I'm stuffed if I can work it out.

    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.

    Transporter almost go it, but it's not the sunnies compartment but the panel with the vent things (?) in it:



    the cover swings down and then falls off:


    remove unit as one:


    Rest is obvious.
