All I can find in my Haynes is: Carefully prise off the cover using a small flat bladed screwdriver and replace bulb.

From the end where the switch is, gently pry either side of the switch with a flat head screw driver. It'll pop off.

Hope that helps!

anyone know what kind of bulb it is?

[TOYTRD]

using a flat head crew driver! place it on the side where there is a swich! just give it a little tug and should come off! i was scared myself the first time!

u can even do it with ur fingers! dont really need a screw driver!

i got white - 20 LED's on the centre interior light, and 18 in total [9 each] on the front interior light! its CRAZY!!! i love it! lights up the whole interior!

The dome light is a 31mm festoon. I replaced mine with a 6xSMD LED one, which I purchased from eBay. Lights up really well! SMD LEDs FTW! :P

Any Chance of Getting Something Similar To Neons for the middle one? I reckon that would be COOL!!! :D Sorry But I Am Just A Kid :-/ Luv How White Looks Like When You Got Neon Lights On

Wa hay! got it off! if using screw driver a skinny one is good. stuff it into the centre with light switch in th eon or door position and it will come off the lens is more giving that it appears! ...can't find the LED "bulb" now. :(

So I Am Guessing T10 is not suitable?

No, it's a festoon bulb - T10 won't fit. I had a heap of good LED ones in, but have just sold them all.

They are UV lights, not neon's, that make white look cool lol..

[thegourou20]

Is There Such A Thing As "T10 UV Bulb"? ;-/

No, but there are UV LED's you could possibly fit into a T10 base.

[Kenneth.]

Yes there is.

Clicky!

OR

Clicky!

^ This 2nd one would not fit into your front parker lights slot due, because the LEDs are protruding out like that..

It states UV Purple, but whether or not it makes the whites glow like a UV light does... is another matter LOL.

There's an easier way... you can take the whole light assembly out of the roof lining by putting a screw driver between it and the grey plastic. There's about 6 clippy things holding it in. Then you simply unplug the whole thing and you can take it out of the car and you don't have to do it upside down. Then to put it back in you just go plug-click-click and it's back.
