Cabin Led Strip Facelift

[D4niso]

Hello everyone, first post here.
Trying to get led strip along the ceiling so I could have better visibility at night for kids.
Wanted to connect it to the main switch so it turns on when you open the door.
My car is a ZS EV 2023(facelift), I've been trying to pry off the ceiling buttons, but cannot do it, got scared too...
Has anyone tried to do it ?

To the forum.

Small plastic pry bar, should do the trick.
Not expensive, Amazon, fleabay, etc.

Tried that, it stil looks like It has some screws, cannot get it off.
Chickened out, thought I would break it.

Ah ok, can't comment on your exact model, as mines an MG4. But I'd be surprised if it was screwed in. What about prying the bulb cover off or the cover on the sunroof switches, to see if there's any screws. Sometimes you've just gotta take a chance. Being as careful as you can.
Good luck.

I managed to get the entire cluster down by prying on the windscreen side, when that side drops it will then unhook from the rear side (towards the rear of the car. To wire in lights however the cluster requires disconnecting from the wiring looms to then unscrew and access the lights themselves. At least that was my plan, it’s on hold for now as the car is in for warranty work.
