<![CDATA[Interior Bulbs]]>Hi guys, couple of questions.

I bought some nice new bulbs to treat the car. Fitted some white LED's to the rear number plates, and I got a set for the interior. Before I start hacking away at the plastic, how on earth do you remove the cover to fit new bulbs? Im talking about the interior unit in front of the rear view mirror!

cheers!!

Then get a smaller flat head screw driver and push the clips off the clear plastic cover, pop in the bulbs and away you go :wink:

It's held in by a pair of spring clips either side and just pops off and back in again. There's two electrical connectors - moonroof and lights - behind it too.**

No the mirror is held separately from the light unit. Or, it should be…...
