Dome light on 2002 Corolla - how to pry it off? Otherwise, $50 at dealership

Jan 31, 2006 2 Replies

My Toyota dealership wants to change me $50 for replace the bulb in the dome light inside my car and license plate lights. I think the parts are only $8.



How do I pry the dome off myself? Do I need a special tool? Seems like a waste to spend $40 on labor I could do myself.



Thanks.



What a deal, considering how much they want to check the air in the tires!

If no screws are evident, place flathead screwdriver blade between the headliner and the dome-light housing. Twist the blade. Do this around the circumference of the housing. They are snapped in placed with plastic tabs. In the remote case that u damage any part of the thing, rely on your local junkyard for parts...Stay away from dealearships!!!!
