It’s about seeing in the dark without needing a flashlight. Like a flashlight, your dome light is as simple as a small light bulb and a plastic covering. For those of us with busy lives and plenty of stuff, it’s also about not losing our keys if they fall underneath our seat in the evening hours. That light also keeps you from accidentally scratching your dashboard by trying to find that ignition switch in the dark. Finally, a good bulb light in the evening can help you locate those valuable small items that sometimes manage to fall underneath the seats.
Repairing a dome light without the proper tools and know-how can quickly lead to a permanently scuffed headliner and painful burns on your fingers.
The dome light will be located (normally in the center of the passenger compartment roof) The cover will be removed with a small pick The bulb will be replaced carefully as not to damage the new bulb or the socket (normally a cam-lock mechanism is as well, but some newer cars have LED bulbs that must be replaced with the socket as an assembly.) The mechanic will return the socket assembly or cover to is factory location The lights will be tested
Do you like to see inside when it’s dark outside? That’s the reason why dome lights have become a common standard feature in nearly all cars and trucks. Ignoring this repair can lead to long-term cosmetic issues, wasted time, and frustrating pursuits of little objects in darkness. A dome light repair is best done when you wish to take care of the little problems in life before they become big ones.
