The replacement trunk light bulb part number is 194 which is available from various manufacturers such as Sylvania, GE, PIAA and Eiko.

You may also use any other miniature wedge base bulbs such as the # 168, 158, W5W, 2825 or a compatible LED unit.

No tools are needed to access and replace the light bulb.

Then locate the grey plastic cage that covers the cargo area light bulb.

Pull the old bulb straight out of the socket.

If you have trouble removing the old bulb, try putting on a latex rubber glove to get a better grip on the bulb.

If necessary, you may also be able to use any other miniature wedge base bulbs such as the # 158, 168, W5W, 2825 or a compatible LED unit.
