Hey all, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help the noob out. I bought some LED Map lights and need some help on how to replace them. I have an RX8 with a sun roof so I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but I cannot get the map light piece to come out. So I am afraid that I might break it.

 

open the sunglass holder, remove the two screws there. Start pulling down on the whole assembly starting from the windshield side. There are two metal "clips" on either side of the assembly and you can either muscle them out or take a thin bladed screw driver and push them in towards the assembly before pulling down. Once you have it out you'll see what i'm talking about.
