Replace Interior Light Bulb on Mini

Model: Mini Mini R53, R52, R50 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Interior dome light bulb

Are the interior light bulbs on the Mini blown? Let's see how to change them. Use a screwdriver to pry between the light unit and the headlining panel (without breaking anything), pull the light unit out from the panel and disconnect the power connector. Replace the blown bulbs with new ones (same size and voltage). Refit the light unit into its housing (push the light unit with your hands until the metal clips lock completely). Test the correct operation of the light unit after fitting. Turn on the interior lights.
