Replacing reading lights??

Hello from Madrid, Spain.

I own a MCS 08. I replaced W5W and C5W factory lamps, for LED lights. The thing is I also want to replace reading lights, but I'm not able to do it.

Is there any DIY manual or any threads I can check?

Thanks in advance,

I believe that the covers over the reading lights simply pop off.

YEah, the covers are really easy to pop off. But after that, I'm not able to remove the lamps.

They are very difficult to pull out. I used a piece of rubber hose and forced it over them and then pulled on that. it took a lot of pulling but they finally came out.

large tweezers wrapped w/ blue painters tape, about 3 layers. then gently squeeze and pull. duct tape works well too, i used that for the footwells.

I used (for lack of better term) the rubber grippy off of a pen. They were pliable enough to wrap around the bulb and grip it good, then they pop right out.
