Learn how to remove the interior lights, specifically the dashboard light, on a Mini R55 (to replace the bulb). Use a screwdriver to lever between the ceiling light and the headlining panel (without breaking anything), pull the ceiling light out of the panel and disconnect the power connector.

Replace the damaged bulb with a new one (same size and voltage). Refit the ceiling light into its housing (push the transparent plastic with your hands until the clips are fully locked into the side plastic).

Test the correct operation of the ceiling light after installation.
