Hi. I'm Mike from 1AAuto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years!

Change your interior light bulb. It's probably burnt out if you're changing it, or you're trying to put in a different bulb or something. Ours is not burnt out, so it's on. It's going to be hot when you take this off.

You're going to take a small flat bladed screwdriver, and there's a little cutout in the trim and then a little cutout in the plastic. You'll pry it out, and then it will just hinge out like this. You don't want to touch that with your bare fingers. It is hot and it will burn you.

We've taken some needle-nose pliers, covered them in masking tape. I'm going to hold the bulb. You probably won't be able to pop them out with the pliers. Then I'll take the flat bladed screwdriver and just kind of pop it out of the wedge, and then hold the bulb. It's super, super hot, so you don't want to touch it. It's just a large fuse bulb.

To reinstall it, just push back into place and push the cover back on.
