  • Shift selector bulb

    How do I get to it? I've got LEDs coming to replace bulbs and realized I have no idea how I go about getting to it.

    Re: Shift selector bulb

    are you talking about the light on your gear selector display? If so then you have to pick up the shifter plate a little. Just two screws under the console lid, remove the shifter knob( c staple and pull directly out) the bulb will be attached to the bottom of white shifter plate. I think....

      does that thing even light up? My bulb was burnt out and I just replaced it and don't notice a difference....

        You have to take off your center console.

        Two bolts underneath the "coin collector" place. (inside your little cubby thing.)
        Take off your shifter, like said before it is a c-clip that is facing the front of the car. Best bet is to turn the key to ignition (don't start it) and move the shifter back to 1st. A small screwdriver or needle nose pliers work the best.

        From there, the console will come out. You need to pull it towards the back of the car.

          or you can just lift the shift plate....Put your shifter in Neutral, use you hand, apply some pressure to the plastic piece and pull back, take the ash tray out and pull back from there if needed....should popl right out. Now bring it as high as you knob, follow the wires up and twist the bulb...should come right out....I had no screws holding mine down...
