Does anyone know how to change out the bulb(s) for the overhead console map lights. The lights that you push on / off. Thanks for any info. since the owners manual doesn't cover bulb replacemnet for that.

 

There was just a thread yesterday about some replacing them with Putco LEDS. Search for that and maybe the user, (I think it was JesseRohr) could help you out.

 

You just pull down the whole console....

 

I was looking for info. about the map lights - not the overhead dome light. Concerning the reply about pulling the entire console down.... the entire console just to get to the 2 map lights? Are you sure this is how you access them? Thanks and hope to hear from as many 04-08 owners concerning my questions.

You should see a spot on the lens (outer edge) where a blade/S'driver may go as a prying/leverage point. Or in my case I was able to get the tips of my fingers under the lip and gently pulled.

 

Thanks Rich for the info. It's 9pm and dark out right now. But I will take a look in the morning. Do you have any idea what size bulb is used as a replacement? Are they available at Auto Zone or Advance or are they only available at the dealer? Thanks and hope to hear back from you.

 

Yes, you can pull the entire console down.

 

Go here and watch video. You just pull the console down as stated above.

Thanks for the info. and link to the video. It seems to be pretty simple. Have you by chance installed these LED lights in your interior? Take care.

 

I want to, I just can't find the kit.

 

I am thinking of getting it. I found the kit at several online places for around $70. I will likely order it in a couple of weeks.

 

Thanks for all the info. I took a meer 1 minute to pop off the overhead console cover and access the bulbs. WOW! Easy as hell! BUT!!!! Does anyone know where you can buy COLORED (preferably RED) replacement bulbs? I checked Advance Auto and as usual they only have clear bulbs. The bulb # is a 900 which was not in stock on the shelves. Any ideas besides the $70 kit from Putco? Thanks and hope to hear back from as many memners as possible.

I don't know if you have one near you but try Pep-boys

 

I will stop by tomorrow and let you know if I find any. Thanks a butt-ton. Lol!

 

$70 for a couple of LED bulbs. Wonder what the markup is on these?
