need urgent help...

tjnptel1 · 07-01-2007, 09:19 AM

i am trying to remove the front dome lights and the plastic cover came off.

but i can't get the damn fixture to come down.. i tried using a spatula and pushing it in and then down, but it won't move.. any help would be great..

will the plastic piece go back on? :mad:

Here's some tips in this thread:
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...interior+xenon

search for "interior xenon", there are quite a few install threads with direction

personally, I gave up trying before it came down

nevermind, i got it!!

the instructions are skewed. Once you find the slots, and have inserted the screwdriver, you have to push the clips away from the headliner towards the rear window. It then just slides down. You have to do it individtually. I did the right side by sitting in the passengers seat and the left side by sitting in the driver's seat.

I hope you're not swapping in the Bimmian bulbs

hate to see your light console melted

look at the thread I posted about the Bimmian interior xenon bulbs (the halogen ones, not the LED ones)
