Sun visor illumination

[WiseSage]

During my previous attempt to replace a bulb in the sun visor lamp, I damaged it when attempting to extract it from the headlining.
It cost me £40 to replace both items.


I possess one with a burnt-out bulb, necessitating its replacement. What is the optimal technique for removing a lamp or replacing a bulb without causing damage to the light?

A plastic trim removal tool to delicately disengage the plastic spring clip securing the lamp assembly to the roof.

The tang at one end detaches effortlessly. Extremely fragile.

Exercise utmost caution; I have undergone the removal of both to accommodate LED lamps.

Indeed, I have had a similar issue previously with the holding clip detaching, necessitating an expenditure of at least £40 for lens replacement. It is advisable to warm the lens with a hairdryer to facilitate the flexibility of the plastic; attempting removal at low temperatures is ill-advised.
