Reasons for
removal The main reasons for this event can be the following:
- replacement of damaged diffuser;
- bulb replacement for more powerful;
- checking of contacts( if the light does not work);
- complete replacement of the lighting device.
To ensure that the integrity of the fasteners, the diffuser, the interior trim or the light bulb is not damaged, it is necessary to carefully dismantle, which we will talk about further.
Correct dismantling of
Depending on the brand and class of the car, the removal of the interior lighting can be performed in different ways. The reason for this is the different design of the lens mounts. For today, the products, fixed with the help of special flags and spring clips, are very popular. In the first case, you just need to pull the transparent cover toward you. In the second - with the help of a thin minus screwdriver, you need to cover the lid in specially allocated places( we selected them in the photo).
We draw your attention to the fact that dismantling must be carried out with extreme caution. In order to remove the diffuser, much power is not required, so if there is resistance, then something you are doing is wrong. It is better to review again all the joints, perhaps a hole under the screwdriver is hidden somewhere else.
It should also be noted that sometimes the lid is removed by itself, and sometimes together with the "insides".It depends on the design features of the device. Once you eliminate the first obstacle, a new lamp will appear. Depending on the type of lamp cap, the lamps can be switched off in different ways: if you press the spring or just disconnect the contacts.
Next, you need to remove the interior light from the passenger compartment with your own hands. Usually it is fixed to the skin by several screws( from 2 to 4) or by a mechanical latch. Here you need to be extremely cautious, because the body is connected to the wiring harness from the battery. All you need is to separate the contacts.
Another important advice - designate the wires for yourself, because you will have to install the interior lighting on the old place after the repair work. To do this, you can use an electrical tape of different colors or a marker.
