It should come out from behind the cubby. I think you can get to it from the driver's side under the dash.

easiest if you take the HVAC out or even the center console (only 2 screws and 2 10mm bolts) depending on you want to go about it.

taking out the HVAC is the easiest way....

I disagree... Pull out the screw in the carpet on the passenger side of the HVAC. Peel the carpet back carefully, and you can reach behind the cubby and pull it out. Then just pull out the bulb, insert the new one in the socket, and replace it back in the cubby. Put back the carpet and down.

+1 passenger side is the easiest

i pulled mine out through the hvac. pull up on all the pieces stuck my hand back there and turned the wire that connected it and it came out pretty simply. it had a little orange cover over it, took it off and waalah it was white.

+2 for the.. from the passenger side method..

reach under, up and behind.. easy.

I did the passenger side and I did the HVAC. I prefer the HVAC. Remove the piece around the shifter and then remove the HVAC section. You will have a clear line of sight on everything then.

But either way works.

you gotta take off the waterfall

SquallLHeart

no you don't...

did you even read the other suggestions above at all?

installed a new blue led in my cubby today used the waterfall way like I always do much quicker IMO

SquallLHeart

ehh.. considering how many times i've done it.. removing the waterfall only adds 10 more seconds to the job
and another 10 to put it back in..

so... 20 extra seconds saved by me just going from behind thru the passenger area.. which i find to be faster..

by sure... 20 seconds.. oh joy... at least for me..

then again i'm sure it takes longer than 10 seconds for other people to remove their waterfall..

so... whatever works for whoever.. merely stating you don't have to remove it to get to the bulb.

what bulb number is it?

Oxyclean

#74 wedge

krazyjvilled

is it the same bulb size and type as the dome light and map lights on the top of the car??

O5_TRD_tC

no dome are 194

rosedaleny806

no, map light uses 194. the cubby uses a #74 bulb which is tinyyy.

krazyjvilled

i replaced the map lights with LED's that just fit right into where the old regular lights fit...

are you able to do this same type of thing with the cubby light?
