Yeah there is one video but they took the hole roof lining out to replace the LED 😂 this was so much better

Frank, you are a wonderful UA-cam Instructor! The only words of advice I would add in NOV 2019 is: it is a TORX #T20 (#2 in my Tool Set) in case you need to remove or adjust the three screws Frank mentions. The other advice: I incorrectly connected the DC power backwards the first time and it didn't work. (There are only two ways to connect it.) So I reversed it and it worked like a CHAMP! For those of us that still drive Pontiac G8's here in the States, we appreciate your Video!!!

This answered a few questions I had. Honestly I had no idea how to start and didn't want to take a gamble just pulling at the cover. Thanks for making this Frank, good stuff! :)

[@markj.miatello5398]

Nice Frank. Keep this up because I'm keeping my Pontiac G8 forever. It also came from Elizabeth, AU

[@rayfigota2607]

Thank you Frank👍

[@tanyaclonan5717]

Thanks for the video! Any idea what the issue is if the light is just working but really dim?

[@MekazaBitrusty]

Thanks for the video. If only you had explained the removal of the red bezel as you did with the black cover. I got the cover off but no idea what to do with the bezel. You showed the tabs but now what?

[@MekazaBitrusty]

Finally figured it out. When you have someone to hold the light cover down for you, looking through the window makes the 3 tabs much more obvious. 👍

[@jimdeath70]

I encounted problems, first you can't see what you are doing, second the LED board would not release out of the housing, seems to be held in by 4 lugs, pulling it up by just grabbing it did not work, I suggest leavering the board up from one side first. than the other, Next it would not hold, going back in; just kept jumping out, I was slotting it down into 3 not 4 lugs, now its still too loose for my liking, lastly the red lens would not go back on without the board jumping out. But I eventually got it with a lot of fiddling.
It may be easier to unscrew the assembly, the plasic cover it seems to be held by 3 torx screws, with the heads on the roof side, so how do you pull the head lining down without breaking or bending it far enough to unscrew them?
Used a test lamp to check battery and earth, which was OK. Looked like a dry joint on the connector terminal, gave it a good re-melt but still did not work, so I brought a new board from Holden cost arround $62, Interestingly the sales guy asked if I wanted the board or the assembly, this makes me suspect there is a design issue here.

I forgot to mention that I was able to purchase the new "motherboard" LED Strip from www.CarID.com (GM Original Part# 92198828 by AC Delco) for $81.92 plus Sales Tax + Delivery to Texas.
