Help with lounge overhead bulb replacement!
Hello all
Hoping someone can help me please, with what should be a simple job, but I can't see how it's easily done!
I've a 2009 Bessacarr, and one of the rear overhead lounge light bulbs has blown. It's under a plastic cover (same as shown in the stock image attached) but I can't find an easy way to remove it, in order to get at the bulb.
I'm assuming there are some clips as part of the cover itself, but I can't see how it comes undone. If I force it, I'll break it!!
Anyone know the correct method?
Cheers
Simon

Have you tried searching YouTube? It’s surprising what you can find there.

Ah, well, it was worth a shot 🙂

Although we don’t have exactly the same surround/ light as you, ours is similar in style. In our case the trim latches over another plastic moulding underneath. Pulling the surround outwards should release a latch or two, then moving around will release the rest progressively. But how to pull outwards?
A very quick search online for a ‘Trim removal kit’ will reveal a selection of shaped, mostly plastic, hooks and spatula shaped tools, designed for jobs such as pulling the trim outwards. They mostly cost under £10/ kit, which is hardly a kings ransom. And you’ll have the tools for another job in the future. We’ve got two, a small one and a big one. You need the bigger sizes for your particular trim.
