How to get the bulbs out of my map lights? - Toyota Yaris Forums

BennyLava · 07-19-2011, 12:44 AM

I have a 2009 yaris. The map lights, (not the dome light) have regular incandescent bulbs in them, and I bought some LED replacements. I'm going through the car replacing all the bulbs I can with LED's. So anyway, how do you get the bulbs out of the overhead map lights that are on the ceiling, at the front?

I can't see a way to do it without hurting it.

There is a great guide available here: http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27384

This is what I followed when I swapped out my lights for LEDs.

The map lights should be size 194 "wedge base" type bulbs. I'm sure a quick google will turn up dozens of sellers. There's an official thread for bulb types/sizes around here somehwere...

Aah yes, here it is: the first sticky thread in the cosmetic modification sub-forum. =/
