Could someone tell me how to remove the plastic cover to replace the bulb for my 06 MC? I figured out how to remove the two rear dome covers but not the front. I did not want to risk breaking the clear plastic lens. Also what type bulbs does it use? The middle and the back uses two different bulbs.

 

NOTE: On vehicles equipped with an optional overhead console the standard front dome lamp is replaced by two combination dome and reading lamps that are integral to the console housing. Each of these lamps is controlled by the door ajar switches on the courtesy lamp circuit, but also are independently controlled by a switch that is activated by depressing the lamp lens. The bulb types and service procedures are identical for both of these lamps.

1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Using a small thin-bladed screwdriver, gently pry between each side of the lamp lens and the overhead console housing to unsnap the pivot tabs on the lens from the pivots in the lamp housing.
3. With the lens disengaged from both pivots, pull the front of the lens forward far enough to disengage the tab on the rear edge of the lens from the
slot in the rear of the overhead console lamp housing.
4. Remove the lens from the housing.
5. Carefully unsnap the bulb from the two bulb holders within the overhead console lamp housing.

The bulb is a 212-2 (PN L0021202), hope that helps.
Picking up a repair manual is a good investment...
Oh, is it really foggy there this morning too?

 

FMB,

I've tried that procedure since I have the manual in PDF but the lens is not budging for some reason and I did not want to risk breaking the lens or scratching the plastic. Looks like that is the same bulb as the middle dome light but the back is 578 I believe.

It sure is a little foggy outside. Got to get the kids ready for church. Are you located in Sac? If so, we will have to get together sometimes.

Look for a PM.
