lol. I guess the hardest part was removing the instrument panel, and then putting the bulbs in and plugging it back in and finding out one of the bulbs need to be rotated. Put one in and test it if it works, put the other bulbs in the same way.

For the HVAC bulbs, two behind the A/C controls, I had a hard time pulling them out so I got some nose pillars and tried to get it off gently. Some of them came off and some of them broke lol.

thats pretty much it man I didnt have any real problems installing them except rotating the bulb every now and then cause I put it in wrong.

Re: Replacing Interior Lights

Well got them all done. Everything went great, alot better then i thought actually. Did the map lights first then the dome light and it went smooth. Did the HVAC lights next and expected the bulbs to break when I pulled them out but they did not break at all, they just pulled right out. Did the guage cluster last expected for some of the bulbs to be not lit up but every single one I some how got them in right the first time so i didnt have to pull it out a second time. Well as it uaslly goes, when things are going smooth something has to go wrong. Well they screwed up my order just a little. They gave me an extra light for the HVAC instead of the last one I needed for my guage lights so I must order one damn bulb now haha. So as promised here are some before and after shots, the pics are not the best I took them with my blackberry bacause my camara is broke. Let me know what you guys think .

Before.



After.

Re: Replacing Interior Lights

Any pics of actually taking the cluster apart, or do they just come out without any disassembly?

Re: Replacing Interior Lights

The lights are the little black things. I circled one. Use a pair of needle nose pliers and they come right out.
