Styling Interior light removal?
Very easy, use either a key or a flat head screwdriver and pry into the gap between the light and the roof of the car, then simply take out the power (Unclip the connector) Take the old bulb out, put the new one in. I recently did this and it literally took 3 Mins
Best of luck

+1 I've done this before and the only thing you need to be careful with is when your putting it back in, major sure you took the wires and cables away from the clips
When I did it though I didn't actually replace the bulb so I was wondering if it gave off any errors?

Cheers buddy
I was just sat messing in my car as you replied mate so I've just popped mime out using a flat head that I always carry in the car and this is the result...
Ps, I can't really get a good close up of the bulb but it days "OSRAM 12V 10W *- n60-"

Heres a couple of images of my Red 42mm Festoon bulb. Initially i bought a x3 LED 42mm Festoon, but this proved to be woefully underpowered. So i bought what i think is a x24 LED 42mm Festoon bulb. And here are the pictures, they still don't do it justice to how bright they actually are, and at night time it really does make the car glow red
Apologies for crappy iPhone pics. Can get clearer digi pics another night if needs be. 42mm is the length of bulb you need regardless IIRC. Reuuk helped me with mine, i'm sure he remembers my tribulations with all that well....

IIRC the interior light isn't covered by the canbus system. So should be fine to use LED's with no errors.
Awesome.

Yeah, eBay mate. Make sure you get one that has like 12, 18 or even 24 little LED's on, as initially i got a x3 LED one and it was awful. Bought another that has 24 (i think) LED's on and it is nice and bright. Especially at night, gives the car a nice red glow (gf says "sexy red glow") Hahaha
