Good value Interior LED kit - fitting

Hi gents

Got this kit off of Ebay a few days ago which so far Id recommend:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2818081910...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Have swapped the majority of the bulbs out pretty easily (apart from getting myself stuck in the boot and needing my better half to pull me out!) and all seem to be working very well - no errors as yet and really nice clean white light.

Just a couple of questions I thought Id run past you:

1. How do you replace the reading lamp bulbs in the rear ceiling binnacle? I can spin the round lens in its socket but not far enough to get to the bulb - do I have to remove the entire binnacle to get at the bulbs from the back? Seems unnecessarily awkward!

2. The kit came with 4 bulbs as per attached pic labelled "Rear vanity mirrors" - any idea where these actually go? Perhaps rear vanity mirrors were an option and my car doesn't have them?

Thanks in advance

1. The rear dome lights come off as per this document. Looks pretty straight forward once you know:

2. They were only available on LWB cars as a £175 option in conjunction with a sunroof (glass or solar) and not many people ticked that option box from new.

Vanity Mirrors are drop down mirrors with lights either side of the mirror which when not in use sit flat into the ceiling, I've got them in my LWB but was told they are not that common +++
