Hi guys, I replaced "almost" all my interior lights with LED's. I got stuck on the rear overhead light's which I can't seem to pop out. Is there a special way to remove these? I have panoramic roof if that means anything regarding the lights.

Search for posts under my name in this forum and in the E60 one. I was looking to figure that out a few months ago, and posted how. Never bothered gettin them off though, so i don't have actual experience. IIRC, I found a tech bulletin on how to do it.

I installed an LED kit that I bought from another member here. I believe he got his from vendor Trinity Auto. Most of the bulbs are either fastoon or wedge style...
