Default How to replace your RW Defrost burnt out bulb

This is for the dash light bulb that illuminates when the lights are on, not the orange light that comes on when the defrost is on.

Follow the pictures. The only tricky part is getting the blue cover off without tearing it. Using a Exacto knife helped, but some still stuck to the bulb.

You can check to see if the new bulb works by putting in back on the switch backwards, mount the base to the prongs and let the bulb stick up. Then turn on the lights and see if it's working. After you verify, pull it off and put it into the hole. (see next post)
