Hi everyone, I have a 2011 caravan and I'm trying to remove the Map light assembly to replace the lights to LED.
I don't want to damage it so I'm asking here, there's a small slit and that's all, I'm attaching a picture to show the assembly.

Thank you all.

 

In my 2012, the whole assembly pops out. I purchased an interior tool for about $6 from my local auto parts store so I didn't create pry marks on the assembly. Mine worked out just fine when switching to LED. Another member here ran into a need to add a resistor to make them work properly. I swapped out those, the dome and the rear gate all to LED. Much better lit now so I can actually find things in the dark.

 

There are 4 clips that hold it. Just start at one corner and pull. It may seem like you are going to break something, but you won't. Just be careful not to pull too hard, the wires for the lights are not very long and you will yank them right out of the connectors. Been there done that.

 

Thank you all, I wanted to make sure if I yank the assembly out, I would be able to unplug the wire harness and then be able to remove the bulbs? Any screws there that I may need to undo?
Thanks.

 

No screws, pop it out and drop it about 6" and you'll be able to unplug the connectors. then everything will be very accessible.

 

Thank you for helping.
I popped it out and now I'm not sure how to remove the heat shield without damaging the assembly.
There are these plastic pins that are crimped to the shield that's holding it in place, not sure how to remove them to get to the bulbs.
Picture attached.

Thank you all.

 

I just popped those reflectors off and replaced the bulbs, then placed the reflectors back where they needed to be and hot glued them back in. Worked like a champ

 

Thanks for the help, I popped them out and it was a challenge to insert the new bulbs in. Lol. Such a tight space there but I managed.
Those little pins held on and I didn't brake all of them, only a couple.lol
Anyways thanks you all for posting, here's the final result pic.
Thanks.

 

Nice job! Was there any re-wiring involved or was it simply a matter of replacing the bulbs? If so, what bulbs did you use and where did you get them.

Thanks.

 

I got mine from www.superbrightleds.com
