How to Replace Front Cabin Bulbs

Post by tonnee » Tue May 15, 2012 3:06 pm

Hi

I need to change the front cabin bulbs above the dash but cant get the lens cover off ?

Is there a knack to doing this ?

Cheers

Max is right!

Two clips either side hold the whole unit into the head lining, pull it down, disconnect the wiring. (You will see a 2 pin connector when you pull it down.) 4 clips hold the clear lens/defuser into the housing, (its easier to take apart out of the head lining.) then you can accesses the bulbs...
Cheaper by comparison to a race horse...

Push the whole unit to the left or right, and then pull downwards from the opposite side, this helps release one clip that can then be pulled downwards.
