For the life of me I can not find a DIY for this for my 2012 ms3. I've found it for others but not my car specifically. Yeah I tried Google without success several times. Appreciate the help or a link, something. Thx!

Remove the light covers and there are screws behind it. (I think)

Then work it out. It's a tight fit up there and the dome lamp assms are a tight fit.

Dome light assembly area. Above the dash.

On the pu's there are clips that hold that area in. The area you are referencing actually comes out in one piece, that was the easy part. Removing the rest I have no idea.

I wonder if it is the same or close to how it comes out. I'd still like to take a look.
