help with front & back domelight removal

front:

looking from below up:

you will see a black trim piece witch surrounds the moonroof switchology and bmw-assist cover .. using a plastic trim removal tool or a credit card very gently pry the aforementioned trim piece out ... this will reveal 2 "L" shaped holes ... using a flashhlight and a flat-head screwdriver press the metal clip (one at the time) you towards the center of the overhead domelight enclosure while gently pulling down on the outside of the domelight enclosure (go gentle yet firm)

this will release the domelight enclosure and you will be able to access both maplights and the domelight


aft:

the aft domelights are removed by (looking aft) lightly pressing aft and pulling out (on the front of the domelight enclosure)

call if you need help

following led's are suggested for the f25:
canbus error free led's for the dome & maplights
regular led's for the door, foot-well and trunk lights

for more light in the trunk i found that a 9 sim led generates a nice lighted area versus using a 5 sim led

for people interested i can post links as of where to obtain led's from ebay
