I searched the owners manual and found these bulb types... For the reading lamp it is model number VT4976 and the vanity lights are V26377. But when I look on www.superbrightleds.com for a replacement I cannot find one that matches... What bulbs did you use?

It does for the accent lighting but the map bulbs and visor lights are all regular bulbs.

Wow! That is a neat trick. How does someone quote another in a response that wasn't even posted at the time it was quoted?

I just realized that. I pulled the lens down on the map lights (be careful if you do it, I had to realign it to get the touch-on feature to work just right) a few minutes ago and found bulbs! I was actually shocked....now to replace them.

Young grasshopper, we can't share that secret until you are a forum ninja! Hint: it took someone a while to hit reply after typing.....

How did you get the covers off? I dont want to break any of mine and the last time my friend "showed me" how to do it in my old car he didnt know there were screws holding it in and broke the pieces...

For up front, the 'narrower' side closest to you....take a thin screwdriver and pry the lens out about 1/4". Then, you will see a clear tab still sticking into the housing (holding the lens to the housing), carefully push it back a bit and that side of the lens will pull away....leaving it hinged to the side that is closest to the windshield. I only lowered my approx 1" to confirm there were bulbs in there.

When you put it back together, if it doesn't click on/off correctly when you hit the +, then you'll need to realign the metal reflector. That is what I had to do.

***I hope you understand what I just typed, it's tough to explain.

I know how to change all the interior bulbs, but how do you change the dome lights that aren't bulbs. It would look kind of weird to have led and non-led bulbs on at the same time. That's why I haven't change the interior bulbs in my durango yet.

Ok I think I understand how to remove the front light covers how do I remove the second and third row light covers to change them? Also when you do this does it let you remove the other map reading lights in there too in the front? And how do you change the rear reading lights?
