Hi, I’m Mike from 1A Auto. We’ve been selling auto parts for over 30 years!

If your little luggage compartment light is not working anymore and you change the bulb, well, there's also a switch here to make sure this one's working, but we'll show you how to take it out.

Take a small flat headed screwdriver, just kind of pry it up underneath, and it pops right out of the plastic. Pull it right out. It's a little 194 peanut bulb in here. Pull it straight out, replace it, and just put it right back in just like that.

You want to change the whole light, you're going to unplug it, push in a lock, pull that out and reinstall by just clicking it back in. Push this back into place, snaps right in.

Thanks for watching. Visit us at 1AAuto.com for quality auto parts, fast and free shipping, and the best customer service in the industry.
