Need help to replace front reading light bulb
I replaced all of the interior light from the current yellow OEM light to LED light except for the front reading light. I'm not sure if I have to pop open the head center control or i can just remove the lamp cover. So I would appreciate it if someone can guide me through this.
Thank You |

what brand led lighting for interior did you go with? since i heard certain brands will cause error codes and such. Any good recommendations on what brand and prices? Any pics of them installed? Thanks. |

anyone done this?
I am stuck here too.. I can pull the front of the plastic down, or the rear, but I can't pull the whole thing off to get to the bulbs -its still attached in the middle. I tried the headliner method -seems even tighter there.. The clear cover doesn't seem to be able to drop down either .. Experts! help please .. |

http://i55.tinypic.com/zvss36.jpg You have to pop the plastic cover that is around the SOS button, you should see 2 black holes. Use a small screwdriver to pop the clips that is in the black hole and pop the surrounding clips around headliner. Last edited by kyheang12; 12-07-2010 at 09:04 PM.. |

Couldnt find the pin. Find a metal part and a huge plastic that don't seem to be the pin. Anyway, after u pressed the pins, do you remove the black dome plastic area, or the brown huge plastic around the dome?
