Default courtesy lamps

Hi guys...


I need to replace the reading/ courtesy lamps in the front but I don't know how to get the unit out without damaging the plastic.

It is the console that also holds the sunglass compartment.


The two round lights and the two switches seem to be clipped it. But there is no gap where you could squeeze a fine screwdriver in.

Is there a trick to it? Do I have to push or squeeze at a certain spot to make it come out? Or do I have to use a string/threat.


Thanks for any ideas


The Moose

Fine blade screw driver from the front (Windscreen side) gently twist and it will pop out from the Glasses holder
