Look very closely at the lens cover, you will see two small slots at the edge of the lens, use a small screwdriver and pry in those slots to pop the lens cover off.
1) Remove the key from the ignition. Make sure the doors are closed, so the new bulb does not illuminate when you are installing it.
2) Make sure the dome light switch is turned to the "Off" position. Pry the plastic lens away from the dome light. Use a small, flat-head screwdriver.
3) Push back the side bulb clamp. Pull out the old dome lightbulb. Wipe the area with a paper towel if it is dirty.
4) Wrap the new bulb in a paper towel (oil from your skin will shorten its life). Insert it into the dome lightbulb holder. Push it up gently to secure it.
5) Turn the switch to "On" to test the bulb. Reposition the cover and push up to lock the clips into place.
If the bulb doesn't work, you've got a bad switch somewhere, probably on the drivers door.
The dome light is mounted on the ceiling of the car.
You would need a small flat-end screw-driver, and aim it to the base of the lens cover. Then pry the lens off.
If you cannot remove the bulb with your finger nail, then pry it out at its end. Or simply push back the bulb's contacting spring at the end of the bulb. Then steady your hand to catch it as it drops down.
Replace the lens by pushing it back to its housing.
Test the dome-light if it works. If it doesn't check the dome's door switches screwed to each door frame. Pushing on the door switches several times sometimes refreshes the dome-light. The door-switches can be removed with a medium-size 4-corner screw-driver.
By removing the black covers of the door-switches, their conditions could be detemined. Spray some electrical contact-cleaner on them if corroded, or simply replace with new ones.
This is a real pain, took me forever to find mine... there is a little TINY slot that you can fit a VERY small flat head screwdriver in to pop it off.
Dont worry, the plastic is durable, just try to use a precision screwdriver if you have one and basically pry it open. it really will just Pop off once you get in there
lok real carefull at the lense there will bee two little slots in the lense between the cover and the trim you can use a pockett screw driver or a butter knife and pry open the lense away from the trim it well be a little stuborn but dont worry you wont crack the lense
if it is covered by a white plastic then inspect it carefully and look for slots where you can put tiny screwdrivers to pry the plastics off, then you can replace your bulb. just be careful not to break the plastic.
There is a little slot on (I think) the right side looking up. A screwdriver in there and prying will remove it. It will go flying into the back seat, and maybe the bulb too. BE CAREFUL changing the bulb. Remove the fuse in the fusebox under the hood (mine was a '97) It's a 5 amp fuse near the front. If the bulb metal end accidently touches the metal above the bulb (and it will!) it will immediately blow the fuse, which also takes out the clock. I have a handful of blown ones............
