Replacing the interior light bulb is very easy, as it simply involves detaching the light from the headlining. Pry along the edges of the light to detach it, taking care not to damage either the edges of the light or the headlining.

Once detached, disconnect the power connector to complete the removal and proceed with replacing the bulb (bayonet fitting). You may also opt to install an LED bulb to give the interior a more modern and appealing look.
