Thanks to R6_allan and MDS for the instructions - did mine at the weekend and they look good! Although I lost a little metal spring clip on both sides (it pinged off somewhere in the roof!) that keeps them in place, but fortunately good old blu-tak saved the day.

How do you remove the courtesy light?
My rear passenger one doesn't work and I can't see any screws which hold it on and I didn't want to pull it in case I broke it!

I'd hope it was just a bulb, as they are extortionate new from a dealers.

On the side closest to the front of the car. Slide a thin bladed screwdriver down the edge and there is a metal clip. Just push this in and the light should start to lift off.
Do not pull or try and force it whatever you do ;)

Any idea where brighter ones are avalible? These do give a very nice colour into the rear, but there's just no power behing them! cant tell if they are off or on most the time.
