How to remove interior light covers

reductase · 07-17-2017, 09:52 PM

How do you remove the interior light covers without snapping off the tabs or ripping out of the trim altogether? Is there a specific tool recommended? Any side first?

Most can come off by hand but otherwise a plastic wedge tool is ideal. A flat hood works too but not recommended since it can scratch.

Thanks for the advice... and that guide is super helpful, I had no idea all there are that many interior lights. If I'm upgrading 1 light, may as well make the complete set.

That guide was fantastic!

Anyone know of places in the toronto region for a kit like this?

Didn't know they had an LED Interior Light Kit. Putting that down on the wish list!
