There's a YouTube video that shows how to remove the entire thing. To remove the sunglasses case, loosen the screws and pull it down. I can't remember the name of the video, but you can look it up.

This is ok in case the receptacle disappears into the housing after he uses too much force.

Hey, have you tried to replace the vanity mirror lights, too?

I wouldn't recommend that. He can lose the bulb somewhere in the trim, and I don't think he wants to deal with some weird noise after that. It is almost impossible to make any work in there because of the tiny space.

I’ve swapped mine to LED before, it's pretty easy. Just pop out the old bulb (a flat tool helps) and replace it with the new LED. For brands, I’d recommend Philips, Sylvania, or Auxito they're reliable and fit well. Just make sure to get the right size for your dome light

How’s your dome lights? Were able to swap it?
Swapping to LED is a breeze! Pop off the dome cover, swap the old bulb, and slide in the new LED. For brands, I’d recommend Sylvania, Philips, or Govee. They’re all solid choices. Just make sure it’s the right fit, or you might end up with an accidental rave!

I wrapped a shoe lace around the vanity light bulb and then put the lose ends of the lace through a 2 inch section of a stiff, reusable drinking staw. I was able to get the light in, but both vanity lights and dome lights are out now. Likely a fuse. BTW - I lost the original bulb in the trim before trying the shoelace trick.
