Interior door panel light

[MAK3N3]

Those are tricky, best to use a plastic pry tool there's a clip from the back facing the hatch...they get stuck sometimes. But you need to get the pry tool in between the light housing and the clips just inside above the light, once you pry the clip pull the back end down. I had one that was so stuck I ended up carefully removing just the clear lens.

My front passenger LED does not light up. So I can replace part #10 in OP's diagram without removing the door panel?

No, you need to remove the door panel.

Thanks. I already bought some extra clips, anticipating the need to remove the door panel after reading your initial post. But then I read MAK3N3's post and wondered if I could avoid pulling the panel.

Below is what the LED module looks like. Getting the panel off is not hard. What looks a bit tricky is replacing this module. Its wire gets wrapped together with other wires forming a harness that runs back into the car.

I was actually referring to the post #12 question...he wanted to replace the #1 in the diagram. But yes, you still need to remove your door panel for what you need.
