Is the bulb in the door light damaged? Here’s how to remove and replace it. Use a screwdriver to lever between the ceiling light and the door panel (without breaking the light), pull the light out from the panel and disconnect the power connector. Replace the damaged bulb with a new one (same size and voltage) or the entire light unit.

Reconnect the electrical connector to the light, mount the light back into its housing (push the transparent plastic with your hands until the clips lock into the panel plastic). Test the light to ensure it functions correctly in the door panel.
