Cudos Jakpro1!

Now see, that's how this forum is SUPPOSED to work! Had you know who been able to post, he would've been all over this saying "WTF, you don't know how to use the search function?" When did this forum turn into the rude and condescending place it is today? And believe me, I'm guilty of retaliating when provoked. I remember when this was a fun, educating and enlightening venue. Now it's just a place for keyboard strongo's to exercise their cup of courage. No way in hell these people would act like this FACE to FACE!

If you are talking about the front dome lights where the rear view mirror is, I wouldn't go prying with a screwdriver just yet. I did and damn near cracked a lens. Try this:

Loving the video embedding. MBWorld claws it's way into the early 2000's in technology.



Seriously though....love it!!!

LOL I was surprised it showed up like that after I linked it, glad to see it too

For everyone else, please don't thank me. I found the video on this site a few months ago when searching and placed the link in my bookmarks in case someone else needed it. Admittedly, it can be a pain to find things when searching on this site, I don't know how many times I've found things that should have been stickied but weren't. But I can almost guarantee anything you need that relates to our cars is here, posted by the old timers.

Ok am I the only one who gasped when you hear that thunk when he pulls down on the mirror to get it to 'hang'? I almost bit the tip of my tongue off.

When pulling the lights out of the rear view mirror use needle nose pliers to pull the bulbs out! Besides that the video looks like it is pretty thorough
