Part: Interior dome light bulb

To remove the light panel in your vehicle's cabin, insert a Phillips screwdriver into the slot under the panel and apply slight leverage to extract the entire assembly with all the lights.

Once you have the assembly in hand, you can access the rear and remove the non-functioning bulbs, then install the new bulbs in each position as needed. Finally, retrace the steps in reverse.
