Front Overhead Light Cover Removal DON'T DELETE

Post by Ian » Wed Feb 08, 2017 10:41 am

Has anyone tried to change a bulb in the dual unit above the dash in the front of the cab? Did you manage to get the cover off without cracking it? I can't see any tabs to prise off.

Not had to do this, yet, but I had wondered how to remove it.

Very useful post. =D>

Can't believe any time served Bongo owner hasn't had theirs off and/or read the many posts on how to do it ha ha. But if/while you are doing it, I can recommend this mod for a rainy day job:
