Ash Tray light? Today I replaced all the interior "lighting" bulbs with SMD's (Map/Dome/Glovebox). I noticed that the ash tray also has a small light that I want to replace. How exactly do you access this bulb? Do you need to remove the top half of the center console? Also what bulb # is it? Thanks guys!

remove the ash tray, then you can pretty much just slide the bulb and its holder up, and out of the little spot thats holding it.. i beleive its a 194, incase you were wondering.

Is it possible to get this out without removing the top half of the center console? I just removed the ash tray and see where its coming from, but I don't believe its possible to get to it without removing the top half.
Its not too big of a deal to remove the top half, but it would be nice if I COULD get it without removing it.

Yes, I did. I know how to take that out. Its common sense. You said take that out and twist the bulb holder. I don't know about your car, but on mine the bulb is not just sitting in the middle waiting to be twisted out. Its inside a VERY tiny rectangular space. I found no way to remove the rectangular space or the bulb inside with my fingers.

Really not that hard bud. Once ash tray comes out, look in and find the 2 wires coming from the bulb. Black and tan/brown as I recall. Follow them up (yes, it's kinda hidden), reach in with 2 fingers, grab the bulb holder, and twist. It comes out, easy as that. Pull out bulb, and replace, install is reverse of removal.

Ok, I was just in my car playing around in that area for about 10 minutes. Unless they changed this during the years, this does not look possible. I had my fingers in there feeling for that wire and it doesn't go up to where the bulb is. I also felt no possible way to even remove the bulb. If I try to reach around UNDER where it is there is no gap with a connector going inside which is what would make sense.
I have no clue how to take out this bulb without removing the center console.

Yeah, I believe thats the only way to get to that bulb is removing it. Thats what ill do. Are there any other bolts besides removing shifter and the 2 under the coin holder?

Is yours inside this little rectangular opening? I reached under it to try to get behind it, but I felt no backing where a wire would go in to take it out. I was trying to feel around it and I got nothing that could remove it.

You guys all get yours out without removing the center console? I don't know why I am having an issue if you guys all get yours fine without removing it.

haha well, last time i was down there acually i forgot about it and its over by the e brake now lol so i will have to take the center off to get to it now. To take the center off you just open the console up take out those 2 skinny screws lift up the e break, take your **** off, and disconnect the cig lighters when you got it mostly off. Unless you have a reason you dont want to do that, it wont be but 10 min
