Great instructions, thank you!

I've hardwired a V1 in my past 3 BMW's in the same fashion and this one presented a challenge because I could not "pry" those clips no matter how hard I tried.

Then I found out a little secret. If you pop off the black plastic circles around the reading lights, you will see the back of the clips, with a tiny space on the side. Use a strong straightened paper clip with a small right angle bend and Presto.

The rest of the project took about 20 minutes as the 10mm ground bolt was hard to get at. Wish I had a metal screw to use with one of those random holes in the frame.

Routed the wire through the vanity light and closed it up.
