Hi guys, I just picked up a M37x and was wondering if I could get some help on how to remove this light so I can replace the bulb inside, the rear one next to the handle at the top? what the trick is? and also the front map lights use a really old style bulb and what a good LED option would be out there that can be just plug and play with no cutting or having to use a dremel?

Thanks for all of your help

I bought this kit from ebay. It had everything I needed for the interior. Everything was plug and play.

I can't tell from your picture what light you are trying to remove. Are you asking about the rear lights? If so, just gently pull out the lens with a plastic knife. Don't pull out the entire light like I did!

That's it! thanks a lot. that's the light cover I want to pop out.
I want to replace the two front map lights but I'm having a hard time finding those kid of bulbs in led that will just be a plug and play thing. I don't want to cut anything

Use a LED panel like I did in the thread I linked to in my first response above. That bulb is reverse polarity so you can plug the panel into the bub adapter reversed (red to black, black to red).
