  4. Move the front map light in the direction of the arrow (1) shown in the figure to pull out the pin from the bracket.
    CAUTION:
    • Be careful not to pull the connector out strongly when removing the front map light. Otherwise, the contact surface of the wiring harness secured to the headliner will come off and the wiring harness could be pulled out. If the front map light is installed with the wiring harness pulled out, the wiring harness could get caught between the headliner and front map light bracket resulting in an open or short circuit in the wiring harness.
