Installation / Application:

Instructions:
- Park vehicle on a level surface, set parking brake, and disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent shorts.
- Remove any obstructions to the console area (shift knob or ashtray insert) as needed to access the center gauge bezel.
- Use a trim removal tool or screwdriver (with care) to gently pry up and remove the center console bezel or gauge trim to expose the bulb socket.
- Locate the bulb socket behind the center gauge. Grasp the socket and either twist counterclockwise or pull straight out (depending on design) to release it from the housing.
- Carefully remove the old bulb from the socket — allow hot bulbs to cool and wear gloves to avoid oils from skin on the replacement bulb.
- Install the new bulb by pushing it into the socket until secure (or by twisting into place if applicable).
- Reinsert the socket into the gauge housing and secure by twisting or pushing until it seats properly.
- Reconnect the negative battery terminal, turn the ignition to accessory or on, and verify the center console gauges illuminate correctly.
- Reassemble the console bezel and any removed trim pieces, ensuring all clips and screws are reinstalled.
- Dispose of the old bulb properly and confirm final operation with a short test drive or additional checks.
