  • Changing Map Light

    Hi,

    I'm trying to change the map lights on my 120, bat am having no luck so far....

    A search of the forum suggests levering the entire fitting away from the roof lining, using a wide flat blade starting from the windscreen side. I've tried this but no luck so far. Any hints / tips?

    Thanks

    Use more force, that's the way to do it. I just grab the front with both hands and pull.

        Yeah did this today - for my LED upgrade....

        MAP Lights - used nothing more than my blade screw driver from the rear door toolkit.

        1) Gently insert blade in center of MAP light lens (towards the middle of the car), gently pry out. One end of the "C" clip will pop out, then do other side. Then the lens will just come out...

        2) The bulb - PITA, IMHO - but anyways, to release the bulb you have to push and turn. What happened in both cases for me, is the bottom spring (positive terminal) had no give. Set the switch to "Off" and make sure that none of the lights are on. This might require a third set of hands - though my two left hands did it OK. Take the blade screwdriver, and push down on the bottom tab holding the lamp in. While doing that (and making sure that you don't short out!) you can now push the bulb down and turn so that the pins line up to pull the bulb out.

        3) In stall the bulb, and the lens. Lens re-attachment is just the reverse, put the door side in first then just "click" in the two "C" clamps.


        That sounds easy, but it took me 15 minutes to do one....the other one took 2 minutes....

          When I first popped the map light lens, I nearly crapped myself as I was sure I'd broken it. Much better with the LED's now.
