Center Console LED Change

https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106502

The center console light is the one inside the compartment under the arm rest in your console. At the fronnt of the compartment is a small off-white circle about the size of a half-dollar coin that lights up when you open the console compartment, but only if you have the parking or headlights on.

You can change out the bulb by using your finger nails to pull the little white circle out of the compartment wall. The entire light assembly (dark brown base and white lens/enclosure) will come out easily.

There is very little excess wire harness to this light so it makes it hard to make the bulb change. Once you get the light assembly out, the white lens/enclosure will come off of the base with an eight of a turn counter clockwise. The wedge type bulb is mounted in the base and pulls out. You will need a single LED buld to replace it.

WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T LET GO OF THE BASE. IF YOU DROP IT BACK INTO THE HOLE IT CAME OUT OF, YOU WILL HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING IT BACK OUT. I TIED A LONG PIECE OF STRING TO THE WIRE HARNESS BEFORE I TOOK THE WHITE LENS OFF JUST IN CASE I DROPPED THE BASE BACK IN THE HOLE.

After you replace the bulb, you put the white lens back over the base and turn it clockwise to get it to lock back on. This is no easy task as you have a hard time grabbing the base with so little wire harness to work with, but it can be done.

Once you have the lens back on, you just push it back in the hole.

The glove box light is the exact same assembly. It's tucked in the upper right corner of the glove box opening.

Trunk is a light box, just carefully work around both sides.

Good luck.

BTW- my glove box/ center console lights fit perfectly after filing them down. i also polished them with a nail buffer to make them clear again after shaving 'em.
