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.

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.
