I'm wanting to replace the bulbs in the map reading lights but can't see how to remove the lenses in order to get at the them.
Anyone know please?

I've not had to change mine, but I think you will need to remove the overhead console and then access the bulbs under the white plastic section that's visible in the top photo.

If you don't have a sunroof, you will probably have the long console in the top two images. It's held up by six screws and one spring clip at the rear. Two of the screws are under the plastic caps right at the front, with the rest accessible once you drop the storage bins. You can see the screw-holes in the top image. Be careful as the console comes down as there are electrical connections to be undone. If you haven't got more than two hands, it's easiest if there's somebody to hold up the console whilst the connections are let go.

The sunroof version is much shorter and I don't know how many screws hold it up or how to access them if there are more than two.

Yeah its the top one mate. Had a feeling it would have to come down.
Thanks for that. Appreciate it.

Do you have any idea what type of bulbs they are?
So I only need to drop it all just the once.
cheers.

I don't know for certain, but pretty sure they are T10 wedge bulbs.
