Re: light on sunroof dial

alright i got mine fixed. i went to kragen to find a replacement bulb. they didnt have anything like it. so i went across the street to radioshack and found something similar. part # 272-1092 is what you want.



first step to accessing the bulb is rmoving the knob and cover to manual closing of the sunroof.

next pull on the plastic to seperate it from the trim on ceiling.


next seperate the circular opening diagram from the rest of the plastic.

then seperate the circular diagram from the metal peice and remove it.

this is what you are left with. the hole on the right is where the bulb goes.

cut the length of the new bulb to match the old bulb and insert it into the hole.

thats all there is to it. now just reassemble.

its pretty easy to do. you have to pull pretty hard on the plastic pieces sometimes to the point of where it sounds like things are breaking, but nothing does. any questions feel free to ask.

Re: light on sunroof dial

i used a flat head screwdriver to aid in getting the plastic seperated from the trim and putting it back together. i used needle nose pliers to seperate the circular diagram from the metal peice. and i also used wire cutters to cut the light to the correct length.

here it is all lit up.
