sun visor lamp

Post by marlin758 » Fri Feb 01, 2013 8:49 pm

I am in the process of upgrading all the internal lights to SMD LED's . It's looking good !

I have done most of them but how do I get to the sun visor/make up mirror bulb ?

It looks like a festoon bulb on realoem.com  -  Is that right ?

I read somewhere that you have to remove the mirror surround - how ? I am reluctant to start prising at it without knowing what I am doing.

Anyone done it ?
55 3.0 D Sport - Silver - Black leather - Carbon fibre badges - Rear view camera - Webasto remote control modification, HID Headlamps and all the rest are LED's.
