Having trouble with visor LED replacement
I changed LED bulbs on both map lights as well as the one on the bottom of the doors. When I went to swap out the vanity mirror lights, I could not figure out a way to pry off the plastic cover with my flathead. Is there a 194 wedge bulb in there and what is the way to pop the housing open and put a new bulb in there.
The map lights and lower door lights just kind of "pop off" once you wedge a small flathead in there. I tried the same thing with the vanity lights and didn't feel like I was getting any separation in the case.
Thanks

It's tighter than the lights at the door. The door one has the little clip you can release like an Ethernet cable, where as the visor one is more like a "surround" type that snaps in place.
Use a bit more force, and you should be able to get it out. (I used a small flat screw driver)
Not sure if this make sense to you at all or not....

It's the same way as removing / installing door LED. You can pull the wires out a little bit, it shouldn't break as long as you're gentle with it.
