Vanity Lamp: Service and Repair
VANITY LAMPBULB
NOTE: Vehicles equipped with optional vanity lamps have a single lamp above a covered mirror that is integral to each sun visor. Each lamp is independently controlled by an integral switch that is automatically actuated by the mirror cover. The bulb types and service procedures are identical for both of these lamps.
REMOVAL
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Using a small flat-bladed screwdriver, gently pry the upper edge of the lens (3) away from the vanity lamp housing far enough to disengage the two snap features (1).
3. Pull the upper edge of the lens away from the visor far enough to disengage the two tabs (2) at the bottom of the lens from the lamp housing.
4. Carefully unsnap the bulb (2) from the two bulb holders (1) within the lamp housing.
5. Remove the bulb from the lamp.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Always use the correct bulb size and type for replacement. An incorrect bulb size or type may overheat and cause damage to the lamp, the socket and/or the lamp wiring.
1. Align the ends of the bulb (2) with the two bulb holders (1) within the vanity lamp housing.
2. Carefully press the bulb firmly and evenly into the bulb holders until it snaps into place.
3. Engage the two tabs (2) on the lower edge of the lens (3) within the bottom of the lamp housing.
4. Using hand pressure, press the upper edge of the lens over the top of the lamp housing until the two tabs (1) at the top of the lens snap into place.
5. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
