I got a 2005 RL about 2 weeks ago and love it.

Issue: The inside lock switch on the passenger side is back lighted at night. However, the drivers side is not. I ordered a replacement blub and am not sure how to replace the bulb with the switch in the door. I removed the small panel behind the inside door latch and removed the single screw. I can't determine what trim/panel needs to come off to get behind the switch. I don't want to remove more panels than I need to.
Any pointers would be appreciated.

 

It will probably require you to remove the door panel. There's a link in the garage on how to do it.

 

^that's the only way, I think, as well is to remove the whole door panel to get to the bulb socket because mine just went out recently on my passenger side front

 

Thanks for the insight. I'll let you know what I find and post it.
