We went ahead and took out the Map light out of our Project F30 335i. Our plan was to take this out and hardwire our radar, but we want with a different route to power our unit. But for the people who are looking to take this out, we thought we would go ahead and document this process and posting it here.
Many of you recall the steps to remove the map light on the e9x, DO NOT FOLLOW THOSE STEPS, WILL NOT WORK!
Tools Needed:
2x Flat Head screwdrivers
First, you will have to remove the trim piece off
Next locate the following spots and insert your flat head
Insert your screw driver and push the screwdriver towards the inside of the map light (repeat on both sides)
Use your second screwdriver and slowly start to separate the headliner to the map light and start to pull down
At this point you can pull it down and should come out.
This is what the clips look like on the side and the rear
