Changing map light, A quick how to would be nice Options

[dkwilly]

I'm having trouble removing the map light. I would imagine the owner's manual has instructions on how to change it, but I don't have a manual. Anybody willing to post a how to?

It's simple, all you need is a small flatheaded screwdriver to pry out the plastic cover (the transparent one)... Just be careful not to scratch it.
Inside are two BA9 light bulbs, shouldn't be a problem to replace them.

Note: I'm not sure the process of opening is the same for the convertible and sun roof models, as they have somewhat different map lights

Thanks, this is very helpful!

Hatch models with a moon roof have a single Philips screw and the whole cover comes off. Very easy stuff.
