How To: Replacing interior lights with LEDs HOW TO

I just put these LEDs in my car, really easy, and although its day time I'm happy with it so far haha. I cant find, and have never seen, a light in my glove box though. I didn't bother with the vanity lights since it seems there isn't an exact replacement, and I hardly ever use them anyway.

Dang I bought the 36mm festoons because that was the size listed to fit and they are about a 1/4 inch too short. They barely reach across to the connectors... It lights up but it's not held in place much at all. Wondering if there is a way to put add some conductive filler at the ends to get them to fit better. Maybe solder some wire to the ends of them and wrap the dome connectors with the extra wire. I put it in anyway but it's pretty loose and will probably pop out sooner or later.

Hi,
I was going through this chain and found it to be very useful.
Although I would like to request you to help me remove the main frame of the front internal light.
I have attached the pictures of the light frame.
You can see that once the main cover is removed, there is another frame like structure still inserted in the ceiling, marked in red arrows.
Kindly instruct on how to remove this as I am afraid that I may break it if applied force.

Firstly - thanks for this amazing thread, really really useful!
I've been trying to get bulbs changed in mine but having a few issues.
Firstly - the headline panel on the roof. I have the sun/moonroof, I don't know if that makes a difference. I managed to get off the rear clips (nearest rear of vehicle, front as you look at them from driver seat) but everything from there just seems really really stiff, I feel like I'm basically yanking it off if I put in any more force - is this normal? Any help removing it would be much appreciated.
Secondly - The courtesy lights in the front doors (at least in mine) sit behind a red plastic panel - does anyone know of a clear version that I could substitute? I can't even begin to imagine what search terms I'd use
Thanks
Chris

Pull it down from the edge closest to the windshield(windscreen). Be very careful replacing the lamps in the overhead console. I broke one of the lamp sockets and it was a pain to repair it. See my hint on the lamps. See this thread:

OK I'm still REALLY struggling to get this panel off, I've got some purchase under the front edge, even placing a few coins under the plastic as place holders, but I've literally pulled as hard as I dare with big indentations forming in my fingers and it just won't come out.
Am I missing something? I don't have the sunglasses holder which I know had a screw holding it, but I just can't get this damned panel out.

Hi everyone,
Turned out that there were 6 clips holding it on and it took so much force to remove that I've got bruising under my fingernails! My RAF dad taught me that if you need to pull that hard you're doing it wrong, but apparently Jaguar don't subscribe to that idea.
Big thank you to everyone for all the help and advice, so glad to finally have it off.
There was, rather worryingly, a little puddle of water under the roof when I went in this evening, is there any chance I've dislodged any seals with all my yanking over the last 2 weeks? And if so, what do I need to do next?
