Replacing Interior Light Bulbs

Always turn off the ignition before replacing a bulb. Avoid leaving fingerprints on the bulb. Fingerprints evaporate when the glass gets hot and can dim the light or reflector.

To replace the dome light bulb, press against the spring clip indicated in Fig. 4-14, and withdraw the assembly. Press the assembly back into position after installing the new bulb.

To replace the luggage compartment light bulb, use a small flat-blade screwdriver to pry the light assembly in the direction shown in Fig. 4-15, then withdraw the assembly. Install the wiring connector end first, and press the assembly back into position. Replace the glove compartment bulb the same way.
