General Mk 1 punto interior light

[Robot666]

I wanted to change my interior light in my punto sx mk1 98 because the previous owner changed it to a blue colour and its quite dim and cant see anything really with it. I cant figure out how to take it off exactly. Maybe to help a bit the light is the one which has the clock under it instead of having it next to the speedometer in the dash.

If you look there is a joint in the plastic (not the clear part). If you put a flat screw driver in the small gap which is one side it will unclip.

Cant find the part you are mentioning but I checked the car in daylight and found like 4 plastic covers that come off and have screws under them. Didnt have a screwdriver on me at the time but later on ill give it a try. Just in case what kind of bulb/led will fit in the interior light? Thanks

yep there's four small covers in each corner of the block where the interior light, clock, map light is. just get a knife or screwdriver and pop them out, then there's four screws to undo then the whole unit just comes down, lift up the back cover and take the bulb out! seemed so simple after i done it! Cheers all for help XD
