Hallberg Rassy 312 Hr312 dome light removal – Robin Gordon, the past, the present and the future

I struggled with this when I first had Bara Vi and did ask how to get these things off on a UK HR site but no one replied so here is my contribution.

Might help to have gripping gloves on. Grabbing and pulling down with possibly a bit of a wiggle does the trick.

As the plastics on these Hella fittings are fragile no owner wants to break them. It’s a question of reasonably firm pull downwards to get the fitting over the lugs.

You can see the moulded in bosses which click over corresponding lands on the fitting. They do come off OK, just perseverance needed

BTW the bulbs, at least on this ship are called festoon and are 41mm. I have led’s on order to replace these. The side lights are next to sort out, I have so far tried and failed to get the correct led lights. More when I manage. Oh, and I did order a red led for the over the table dome fitting, it has two filaments with different wattages and I will at least try with a red on one of the two.
