VW Volkswagen EOS 2008 dome light repair

I show how to remove the dome light (map light) assembly on a 2008 Volkswagen Eos, in order to repair it or clean it. In my case, the lights were intermittent and would go on or off if you tapped on the assembly, and the root cause was that the solder joints had aged.
This part is easy to remove, and I show a few places you can clean. I'm not very handy with a soldering iron, but the board is very easy to work with because the solder joints are well-spaced, easy to reach, and not connected to anything very sensitive.
Regardless of your repair, hopefully this helps you with disassembly and reassembly.
(NB: I made the video after I had already made the repair, because I had to go back in to redo one of the solder joints. Also, please don't judge the beauty of my solder work.)

Did the soldering do the trick? Or was it something else? Having the similar issues with one of the lights.

Seems like a common problem, happens to me on a facelift EOS with the driver side light
