Fitting LED to front coutesy

Hi all ..... Help !

I am trying to fit an LED module in to the centre front courtesy light, I removed the bulb ok but when pushing the new fitting in I have pushed the receptacle back behind the reflector

I have tried to hook it back out with a bent paper clip but cannot locate it

Is it possible remove the reflector to again access to the fitting ? Peter

You just need to remove the front light fitting

There is a post round here somewhere showing how to remove it

ISTR it was for fitting a microphone for phone system

Here it is http://www.disco4.com/forum/topic42860-15.html .....page 2

Cheers Ian

If you put your fingers on the front of the whole unit and pull back and down at the same time it will just pop out

Thanks for your help outofyorkshire and Hairy Dan, I would have never guessed (or had the nerve it needs quite a tug !) how to remove the whole unit

Job done

I would not have been able to "fish" the receptacle out with a paper clip as its a stand alone part not attached to a wire as I thought ! It locks into place with a 90 deg turn. I think I unlocked it removing the bulb thinking it was a bayonet type fitting when it fact its a push fit. Peter

Glad you got it sorted Pete

Most trim panels need a good old tug to get em free

If it's any consolation Pete, I did exactly the same and asked the same question. I must admit that I felt a bit daft (nay, a lot) when I found how easy it was to remove the light unit.

Great this forum isn't it?
