Front Interior and Reading Lamp Bulbs

The Left Center Reading Lamp (W39) / Right Center Reading Lamp (W40) are removed and installed the same way so the procedure is only described for one of them.

Removing

- Removing the front interior lamp (W1). Refer to => [ Front Interior Lamp (W1), without Sunroof ] Front Interior Lamp (W1), without Sunroof or => [ Front Interior Lamp (W1), with Sunroof ] Front Interior Lamp (W1), with Sunroof.

- Turn the left center reading lamp bulb socket - arrows - 90 degrees to the left.






- Remove the bulb socket and bulb from the left center reading lamp.

- Carefully pull the bulb out of the socket.






Bulb: Glass base bulb 12 V/5 W

Do not touch the glass of the bulb during installation. Fingers will leave traces of grease on the glass which, when the light is switched on, will evaporate and cloud the glass.

Installing

Install in reverse order of removal.
