....

Are you referring to the light which comes on when you slide back the vanity mirror cover?

If so, won't changing it to LED make your complexion look somewhat pallid? Even if you're not bothered, a female passenger is likely to be.

....Then I'm wrong. I thought that LED as a light source would be too cold or unflattering, rather like fluorescent lights are.

The things you put up with for a nice lady, eh, Jay?

You just need to take care and prise the whole unit out on the short edge.

I used a screwdriver covered in tape. There are two prongs one on each short edge that holds it in place. Don't try and prise the cover off, you need to go down the side and prise the whole unit out

As cameluk says just take your time and make sure you prise the whole unit out and you should have no problem.

I've changed over my interior lights to LED's and really like the effect, just got my footwell lights to go then I'm all done  :happy2:
