Firstly does anyone have any pictures or a guide to removing the map reading lights front and rear as I really dont want to break anything.

and secondly the pas side compartment (where the log book is kept) light isn't working, i bought a complete kit to replace all interior lights with LED buts whats the best way of getting the bulb out?

Thanks  :drinking:

Cant find the guide I used but this is pretty much the same:

IIRC the glovebox light holder is the same as the footwell lights. You need to prise out the holder with a screwdriver.

Mate, where did you get the interior light complete kit from?  And what price did you pay?
