Hi all:

One of my dome lights is no longer functioning. I am assuming that the most probable cause is a faulty bulb. Any other thoughts?

Also, anyone know how to remove the plastic cover in order to check/replace the bulb?

Thanks for your time,

It's probably the bulbd. Is it still under warranty? Take it into the dealer, or pop the light covers open on both sides and swap bulbs. I can't imagine the light being more than $2.

 

I was going to stop by pepboys today -- but does anyone know how to pop the cover?

 

If you're still under warranty, do NOT take it anywhere besides the dealer to get it fixed. Why would you want to not only pay for a repair, but also pay for one that doesn't use OEM parts?

 

I figure I could just do it quiker myself. Plus everytime I bring my car to the local Acura dealer to get something fixed they always scratch something... it never fails.

 

That was strange... after being out for 1 week the light is coming back on as of this morning.

 

Mine did the same thing. I just removed the cover and removed and re-inserted the bulb. It's worked fine every since.

To remove the cover: Get a very small screwdriver and look for a very small tab on the side of the cover. Slide the screwdriver in and pop the cover off.

 

Hey.......my passenger side dome light stopped working too. When I would open the door only the drivers side light would come on, but when I clicked the passenger light on and off a few times it started working again. Strange. This has happened a few times too. I figure it's probably a loose wire or something. One small point though, isn't the warranty for lights only 1 year?

 

This morning the light is out again -- strange. Where is the tab located?

 

Bump

 

 

Anyone?

 

Owners manual tells you everything you want to know.

 

i personally wouldnt leave my car at the dealer for a day to change a bulb. never understood why people dont change bulbs themselves.
