Interior Trim removal help + puddle light question
does anyone know how to take the interior trim of a clk out? the wood trim around the navi, and the doors pannels etc.. basically all the wood stuff i have on my car, thanks a lot!
also, i've had my puddle lights for like half a year and they are still not installed lol, i can't figure out how to get the wire into the interior of the car, so any help on that will be appreciated as well smile

Lets see I know the wood are the navi is pretty easy to take off. You will need a torx set. Look at the very bottom of the wood piece above the ash tray there are two torx hiding in that crack. Also about running the wire into the car. If you want to keep it pretty stock simply run into engine bay fuse box and use coat hanger to get through firewall at the bottom back part of the fuse box.

The door panels must be removed to remove the wood inserts on the door panel
It would be best if you had a Tech hook up the puddle lights...
I have seen a few people TRY to install them and Door sill lights and do damage to the car ala Burned wires

thanks mark, most people have told me that puddle lamps are about as difficult as angel eyes for bmws and ive done literally dozens of those, so im hoping to this myself as well as save a few bucks. but with that said, would u install them for me? how much? i know ur good with this kinda stuff haha
thanks for the info on the door trims, any idea how to get the center ones out? is it the two screws as stated earlier?
