As the title states, how the heck do you remove these mofos! I can get the red cover off, but can't pull the bulb out. Can't seem to grip it with pliers or fingers.
Also I can't even manage to get the lower door light cover off, i tried looking for a screw and also prying it off but neither seemed to work. Any hints?
The C-Pillar interior lights also seem like a bitch to get off....Do I just need to force them a bit more or something? The only one I managed to get off today was the centre roof light.
This is on a KF Xi for reference.
Replacing bulbs with LED's.

I assume you take the door trims off and get them from behind, As it the case with the c-pillar lights probably... (i have not done this before)

I thought that might be the case but flicking through the Verada book and they only have info/pictures showing that the covers pop off then the bulbs can be accessed. Hmm I might need to search a bit harder through the gregorys.

I don't particularly want to take the trims off.
Went through a long ass process of changing headlight bulbs today and that was a bitch enough as it is!

pull the door trims off and take out the bulb fitting by turning it. bulb should just pull out.

Theres 3 screws... then they pop off. its not that hard

how many LEDs are on the festoon for the centre roof lamp. i tried using one with 4 LEDs and it was absolute crap, even at night there was no where near enough light to see anything.

Nick, you need dedicated LEDs for that area as in a special LED with a bigger area like a square piece with multiple LEDs on it, I know where to get them in Singapore but not here. I would recommend you to leave it as normal bulbs.

Nick: For the roof I picked up a panel that was about 5x6 LED's which was wired to a replacement bulb. There is definitely significant light, just remember to give the panel a good clean afterwards lol.
The kit is from Jaycar, it comes with one LED panel and 3 different types of bulbs so you can test fit which bulbs you need where and how much light you need.

got a part number from jaycar. having trouble finding it in their catalogue

It's actually only 4x3 not 5x6...sorry, didn't really look at it.

$30 though is a bit steep
