For the interior light, is there anything holds the cover?
coz i just try, and i crack it
so i decide to stop it instead i crack the whole cover.
thanks

So you say the interior lights give a warning message?!? What a pain in the ***, not even BMW is this irritating...

I thought only outside lights trigger a warning message??

And is that festoon bulb 36 or 39mm ?

got_thang?

Interior lights do not throw a code. That only happens on exterior lights

So before I removed the trunk plastic reflector in the trunk (since it was the easiest to access) and I had trouble with removing the bulb, like how do I do it? It was hot since it was still on and I didnt want to break the bulb or the socket, do I pull it or what?

Is it at the eighth picture down...basically how do I change it?

got_thang?

Do it in the day time. And turn off the door lights and pull the bulb out

aprince2die4

the bulbs just pull out...just dont squeeze to hard on the bulb...

Okay sorry for the somewhat dumb question lol

Thanks heaps for the DIY. I have just done this and probably wouldn't have without this, to worried about breaking stuff.

FYI - I saw in another thread that if you stick a credit card into the gap between the back of the front dome light console and the headlining you can pop the whole unit down and remove the lamps from the back.

Thanks again.

Rear number plate lights on a S204 are a PITA Won't be changing them I need to dismantle the whole trunk

Robbio204

What is the Light Bulb Number for the Rear Dome Light, Like the Main bigger one? I have Polarg M4s 194 do they make compatible ones of that number for the same color effect?

Robbio204

Anyone?

kaku

i'm in the same boat as you !

it's much harder than i thought to remove that front dome.. even using 3 screwdrivers and no deal=I

peabers

I found the dome light difficult to pry out as well... but I got it to work by starting to pry from the trailing (passenger) edge, and then working down the sides towards the front of the car. With every pry, I slip my screwdriver in deeper.

... Good luck!

Any advice on the front dome light? I found them really hard to remove and I am scared of breaking things..

If you insert a credit card like in the picture in the link below you will easily remove the dome light without any breakage. Mine slid off quite easily.

Make sure you hit the 8 black pointy latches shown on the 2nd picture.
