How do you remove the whole assembly of courtesy/dome lights? I'm talking about the ones right above the rear-view mirror. Out of the 3 lights, only 1 works and I have already tried replacing the bulbs. In the process one of lights got pushed in and now I need to drop down the whole assembly to find the loose bulb. I already removed two screws from the drop-down sunglass compartment, but it's still not coming off. I noticed two white plastic clips on the corners, but those are not coming off (plus it's VERY difficult even with pliers). Help me...

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Cheap! @ Dec 1 2006, 03:25 PM) [snapback]356395[/snapback]</div> You're my savior for this hour. Thank you! By the way, that's a pretty clever and cool mod. I thought those were "interior air temperature" readers.
As Cheap shows, you basically just yank the whole thing down once the screws are out (nice work finding the screws at least - that took me more than a few minutes of searching!) It can be a booger the first time pulling that thing off! After it is done once, it comes off a lot easier the next time. What you really want up there is LEDs, right? http://evnut.com/prius_dome_front.htm
I understand that you sell LEDs, but yours cost a tad too much for me. However, I also know that your LED's are the BEST and by far way brighter than what I got on eBay.

Therefore when I tested them on the door step assembly it simply performed worse than the stock bulb.

I noticed that the wires going to the dome module are black, brown,red,white,green. Would anybody know if one of them is ignition +12. ? (I assume one of them is ground) (I want to change the mirror with a gentek self dimming without running miles of harness through the roof). The electrical diagram manual, downloadable from toyota service is not available to Canadians unless they have a US credit card with a US address, so I can not download it :angry: :angry: :angry:
