F56 Dome light removal

Hi, just want to know if anyone have experience removing or changing their dome light. Any instruction out there? I'm having difficultly removing the center dome light. Any help would be appreciated!


Cheers!

the dome light has a cover that you pop off, and then has 2 torx screws holding it up, if i remember correctly. the domelights themselves are leds soldered onto a circuit board, not a bulb you can just swap out tho. if youre looking to change color or just get a brighter white, make sure you get the correct led before you desolder the old led off the board.

This might be a little funny, I'm not trying to change the light, but a spider got into the center dome light (it's dead) and it's been bugging (lol) me. I tried to pop the center dome light cover off but that didn't work.

anyone know if the center dome light clear cover pops off?
