How To: Change Dome Light in 6th Gen
This may apply to other generations, however I have not done it on them and this is a step by step for 6th Gen Monte Carlos. LED Bulb size 578.
First you take a small screwdriver (like one in an eyeglass repair kit) and insert it on the passenger side of the dome light plastic. http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d5...p/IMG00179.jpg Next you pull that out. http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d5...p/IMG00181.jpg This will expose the bulb (if you were working and the bulb was on for a short amount of time, it MAY be VERY HOT. The first time I did this I burned my fingers taking the bulb out) Just pop the bulb out of the metal clips that are holding it on. http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d5...p/IMG00184.jpg Now that you have the bulb in, reverse these directions, starting with the tabs on the left (driver side) of the dome plastic. It has 2 notches that go in first. http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d5...p/IMG00182.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d5...p/IMG00185.jpg Snap your passenger side back in, and congratulations you now have a new dome light! If at first the dome light doesn't light, then you have to turn it around because you put it in the wrong way. |
very helpful thnx!!!
|
lol... Very helpful indeed, but it made me laugh a bit...
This took me 5 seconds to do without any tutorial needed, but what can I say, you're just a top notch guy! lol |
(some people don't know how the tabs work, and I don't want anyone trying to yank the whole plastic assembly off the ceiling and ruining their headliner)
Plus I was doing this, so why not pull out my phone and take a few pictures? :P |
Yeah yeah, you're a better person than I! lol

I kid, I kid. But how similar is this to your half-gen? |
Exact same.
|
I actually used this, thanks.
|
I used this as well..Bought the exact same LED board, VERY bright...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...iceelights.jpg It was like 11:30 or Midnight when I took this pic, and the interior is completely lit up by it..My passengers sometimes complain how bright the light is..Oh well, lol. I recommend this to anyone else considering it. |
Where can i find this LED board at? Is the dome light a festoon type bulb?
