You can pop both the front Dome Lights and rear dome lights out with a screwdriver or credit card pretty easily, then just insert the bulbs. If it does not light up at first, try reinserting the bulbs again, but the other way. If you need anymore help let me know, I struggled through it when I did it too.

thanks, ill try that now. figured the interior was like most cars. and what about the mirror courtesy lights, how do i do those?

For the FRONT dome light, I recommend removing it completely.. Trying to pry off the white frosted lense will be messy...

There are two screws that hold it in place inside the sunglass holder unit.

For the rear dome light and front vanity lights, those will easily come off with a mini flat head..

Just use some blue tap on the end of it to prevent scratches when prying & popping out.

Nm they are not the mirrors they are the interior courtesy lights. got them all except those two tricky bastards in the cluster of three in front. the ones in the corner are slippery.

Joe i got the front white part off. no issue with interior door popper tools. any tricks as to getting the two bulbs out? the middle one pulled out just fine.

Remove the dome assemble in under 1 minute.. The 3 bullbs are each pushed into a socket that is removable.

Use a small jeweler's screwdriver as shown above. I replaced a total of 7 bulbs inside:

Vanity (pair)
Front dome (x3)
Rear dome (x2)

Footwell is just fine stock and rest are ok too.

I did replace the parking lights with a pair of 194's inside the headlight and also a pair of 9005's for high beam and H11's for the fogs.

Evil Teo 08-10-09 06:26 AM

after u take out the 2 screws all that remains are 2 plastic tabs just give it a pull in ur direction and it should pop out. it wont break cuz its plastic tab. give it a quick pull.
