Interior overhead light

[jazzyp]

I've a broken (smashed glass) bulb in my front interior light and need to remove the entire unit to gain access from the back to push the bulb out. Does anyone have any tips on removing the unit as I don't want to damage the plastic. I've tried a couple of times but afraid of breaking something. Thanks

I don't have a B9 so not much help, hopefully someone will advise. I think the lamps differ from van to Multispace as they do on the M59.

What I'd do is find a light unit that looks right on eBay, you might find one with decent pics of the reverse to show the positions of the tabs which might help with where to dig in and pry yours out.

I have this very day removed all the interior lights on my M59 Multispace and replaced them with LEDs. and Haynes was no help with the front unit so I was doing the above. It all got easier when discovered that the unit is clipped in from above from inside the shelf over the screen.

Think you may just have to be a bit brutal digging about - I was!

Good luck.

The light just pulls out. It has two metal hooks at the front which are bent over that keeps it place. Once you take it out bend them back down otherwise it'll be loose when you refit it.
