Remove the interior light to access the bulb holder by gently prising the outer edge with a plastic tool and disconnecting the connector. Rotate the knob at the back a quarter turn to remove the faulty bulb and install the new bulb.

If the new bulb does not light up, ensure it is correctly rotated and secured in the holder. Reassemble the interior light in its housing.

The same operation can be performed on other interior lights, where, however, an LED bulb is fitted instead of the old tubular bulbs; both types are interchangeable without issues.
