How do you take out your overhead lights?
 
How do you take your overhead light piece out the one with your buttons to slide your top back and the sunglass holder? I took the 2 hidden in the glasses compartment but I cant figure out how to get the rest of it loose....Can anyone please help me...
Oh yea, The reason I am taking it out is b/c I am changing the lights to blue and I have tried every way in the world to take the lil bulbs out but I cant...And I cant even get the clear cover off the other one...When I try it just messes it up ><
PLease help me...
Thanks

There are these 2 metal clips that hold it in place on the top part, you need to slide a putty knife or really thin screwdriver in to unlatch them

or you can just try to pull from the windshield side first...

Easier to pull from the windshield back. Could never get those clips off with a screw driver.

Dotson408 02-22-2005 06:08 PM

PLease help on how to get the nearest to the back out...I got the closest to the winshield just fine...

Clips.......
 
Like they said, unbolt the front, then wiggle the whole thing forward and down, the clips SHOULD compress themselves and come out.

Any kind of blade/screwdriver will just gouge the console AND the liner - trust me on that! :rolleyes:
