Question Newbie Question: How do I replace map lights in 08 Scab?

I need to replace them since they're burned out. How do I access them? I don't want to pop off the wrong piece. Thanks!

Just pull down on the edge of the plastic between the roof and the light housing. Whole thing pops out. Bulbs access from behind if I remember right

These are the lights built into the compartment with the sunglasses holder, etc., not the dome light. Are you saying to pull down on the edge of the whole compartment?

Yup. Do you have the 2 rails that run front to back on the roof?

The whole console should just pull down. That's what I did for mine...had to pull a little bit. Just a few clips in there.

Yea. Either way just pull and shell pop off for both. Easier with rails but not by much.... Be careful if it's cold....cold=broken lol. If your gonna take off any plastic panel that's clipped in make sure it's warm or your likely to snap the clips off

I was going to mention the same caution on not doing it cold but yea it just pops off. Went through it on a 2011 Cobra to wire in my radar detector.
