Hi,
The light in the trunk of my car is not working. I thought this was due to a blown fuse but I checked and found all were working well. Could it be a bulb issue? If yes, how can I replace it?
Thank you.

Hello,

The trunk light can be replaced quite easily.
Simply use a small flat head screwdriver and use it to pry on one side of the light housing. You will see a little indention on of the sides.
Carefully pry that side will come out of the mounting slot.
Then unplug the harness and remove the bulb from the housing.
Install new bulb.
Plug the harness back in.
When you install the light housing, first put in the side that does not have indention and then click it in place.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
