Am I right to assume that the front overhead unit (where the front interior lights are located) is easy to replace? Is it straight forward removing screws and pulling out of an electric connector, or is there more to it?
Your comments will be appreciated.
 
Hi,
The overhead console in a W210 E class is fitted the same way as a W202 C class i believe, remove the two light covers on the console, just pull off, you should then see on the rear edge of the console a couple of small slots, push the levers in, in the slots pull down and back, then its just a matter of unplugging an plugging in the new console.
 
Screwdriver helps with leverage...careful palstic will break...if lights dont come back on its because you cracked the silicon chips inside (figured that out after headliner was replaced)
 
Oh and junkyards sell them for 100 bucks
