Changing bulbs in the living area

[Juliette ryan]

Is there a knack for popping off the light cover? And do I need LED bulbs for my 2009 van. Any advice gratefully received - thank you

The bulbs will not be LED but I think the Forum Shop sells Upgrade LED bulbs to fit, except for the Strip light over the Kitchen.

It looks like the whole fitting pops out to change the bulb. Part 5 & 20

Thanks for the links.

When we changed ours I just levered the plastic cover off with a screwdriver then replaced the bulb then clipped the cover back. It was very easy to do.

Depends on the Vehicle year of manufacture.

This was done on a 2009 vehicle.

I used a plastic fork/ a knife with a plastic blade rather than something like a screwdriver.
