Map Light Removal
Does anyone know how to safely remove the map light console on a '09 5 Door?
I want to relocate the Bluetooth mic there. Thanks,

I just use my fingertips to avoid damaging the plastic or head liner.

I used a thin plastic thing and gently bent it out at the mark.
Was easier to put bluetooth mic on top of the A-pillar. I hope yours is better than mine: people just hear noise when I use the bluetooth. |

Thanks for the reply, but a few questions:
1: Where is "the mark"? 2: Where and what is the A-Pillar?

there is four clips holding the lights up so two on each sides top and bottom. Probably need a flashlight to see better once you pry it with fingers. |

I thought there were little marks on the edge of the map light. A pillar is the plastic pillars next to the windshield. Its easier to drag the bluetooth wire up under the dash above the pedals, and behind the plastic of the A-pillar.

Why not put it on the steering column?
