I want to exchange the regular lightbulbs in the dome lights with red ones.
How do I get the cover off? I'm scared to pull and couldn't find any screws, that hold it...

 

From the work instructions (up one level in this forum) it appears that the dome light doesn't use any screws:

I'm guessing that you press-in on the sides somehow to unclip it (without tools)

 

just pull down . grab it firmly and ease it off

 

OK, thanks guys!

 

you planning on running a darkroom in your car or something? hehe, sorry.

try posting some pics after you get them installed. curious about how that would look.

 

+1 definately

 

yes please post that sounds very interesting

 

So here is my little explanation:

First of all you will have to pull down the dome light cover. It is mounted with two metal clips on the left and on the right, just pull, it will come down.



After that you will see the two black lightbulb housings with a little black plug going right in there. Pull that plug out, at the end you will find your lightbulb.

I drove to Autozone here and got two 12 volt lightbulbs in red for $2.99. Just stuck them back in there - voila!



And be careful - these bulbs get hot very fast! So if you had the door open for a minute and try to pull out the bulb - it's hot...

Some more shots of it:

 

hmm... looks interesting. nice little write-up. is 161r the universal number for the bulb or just what that company calls it? maybe i will try this in hyperwhite.

 

I hope you have a NAV or something. Keep the regular bulbs in the car, inteh glove box or somewhere else. Im sur eyo uwill thank me that day you are on a dark road and looking at a map or looking for somethin in the car

 

Hmmm, I'm not sure about that... It was the only one, that did fit and was 12 volt.

 

Yes I do have a Nav, but I kept the bulbs anyway. You never know, whats gonna happen...
