Cab light removal and bulb type
How do I get it out and what bulbs fit it?
Doing an over head pod for the reversing camera screen and have to move the cab light, just don't want to damage it

It pulls down and is held in place with a metal spring clip each end. If you get something like a plastic credit card and use one on the left and one on the right, you can push the spring clips in to make it easier to release.

You mean the whole fitting?
Then the bulbs must go in from the back?

Yes, that's removing the whole fitting. The plastic lens can be removed using a knive blade to prise it out, but it's easier to do if you remove the whole thing so you can see what you're doing. Bulbs are replaced from the front side and are the glass wedge type bulbs with the wires that fold round the base.
