Dome Lights

K.M. Tim · 01-10-2017, 01:13 PM

Have a strange situation in my 2012 F30 328i: Dome/Reading Lights do not work. Checked all fuses and lights. All floor/flood/door/trunk lights function properly. Any ideas welcomed.

hello...i am trying to remove the front interior dome lights in my 2012 f30 320i.

Looks like the buttons used to turn the lights on and off are faulty because they work when the doors are open but i can't switch two of them on or off when the doors are closed.

I just want to open it up and look at the inside of the buttons. Can anyone help?

Wow op post from Jan 2017 and no one responded. Looks like it could be because it was simply turned off. As for second post removing the lens might just be a simple pry off operation. There's likely a few YouTube videos on the procedure. Maybe you can do it with a screw driver wrapped in a microfiber rag to protect the trim.
