Default Interior Map And Dome Light Help

Hello Gang,

I was wondering if anyone has the diagram and instructions for replacing the Map and Dome lights for a 2007 Q7? I unfortunately do not have the Q7 DVD service manual, and tonight, out of bad luck, I had a two map lights burn out, the front drivers side, and the rear passenger side map lights. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

To replace the map lights you have to pry off the entire frame it is only held in with clips. Here are some pictures:

arp2nr,

Is there a proper way to pry the frame off? I didn't want to just stick a screwdriver in there and start prying, possibly damaging the frame if there's a better way to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for posting the pictures, looks like the map and dome lights are the 6411 festoon type bulbs.

I didn't use a screwdriver. I just used my nails and started pulling, it does not take that much force.

Thanks for the tip, I actually used a credit card and it worked really well.
