How do you remove the map light covers to replace the bulbs in the overhead console? Checked owners manual and a Haynes manual.

 

Do you have a screen up there, or just the light?

I only have a light, no display screen.

 

yeah, it's the overhead console with the homelink buttons and digital display.

 

If you have downloaded the huge 5000 page service manual, the instructions are one page 1309
8m-16 to remove the console.
and then to change the bulb the instructions are on 1289 8L-159.

I can post images of the page if you need.

 

i thought about that as soon as i posted it, yes I have it, but thanks for narrowing it down for me. I got some LED bulbs from v-leds and they were for the license plate but they are too long to fit so I hope I can use them in the map lights.....

 

No problem glad I could help, Hope it works out for you!

 

dang things dont fit in the map lights either...guess i should measured first...lol

 

Which ones did you get? I almost ordered some the other night, wonder if they were the same ones (good thing I didn't order them I guess).

 

I ordered these.

The only place I found it fit was the glove box light. I should have measured them. I just ordered another set of these.
