How to change a burnt out overhead dome
light bulb in a 2nd generation 2015, 2016 or 2017 Chrysler 200 sedan.
 2015 Chrysler 200 Dome Lights |
 Insert Flathead Screwdriver |
| This
automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the second generation 2015, 2016 and 2017 Chrysler 200
sedan in changing a burnt dome light bulb (also known as the rear
passenger courtesy reading lights). Owners of other Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, RAM or Fiat vehicles such as the 300, Pacifica, Town & Country, Avenger, Charger, Challenger, Journey, Dart, Durango, Magnum, Grand Caravan, Fiat 500, Fiat 124 Spider, Grand Cherokee, Renegade, Wrangler, Compass, Liberty, Patriot, ProMaster, 1500 and C/V Tradesman minivan may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. The compatible replacement miniature wedge base light bulb part number is 2825 (or "W5W"). You can also use brighter 2825 LED light bulbs. The only tool needed to access and change the light bulbs is a small flathead screwdriver or a plastic pry bar tool. |

 Lens Cover Removed |
 Plastic Tab - Rear Edge |
| To prevent from
scratching the plastic surfaces, I recommend either covering the tip of your
screwdriver with a thin micro fiber cloth or use a plastic
pry bar tool. Insert the blade of the tool in between the inner edge of the two lens covers. Gently pry out the lens cover for the burnt out light bulb. Try to avoid using excessive force. The lens cover should pop out relatively easily. You may need to re-insert the tool in to another section of the lens cover and pry again. Don't pry out the rear edge of the lens cover. There is a plastic tab on that edge holding the lens cover in place. Set the lens cover aside in a safe place. |

 Chrome Plastic Reflector |
 Pull Out Reflector Piece |
| In order to get a
good grip on the old light bulb, you'll have to remove the chrome / silver
plastic reflector piece. Gently pull out the chrome plastic reflector piece and set it aside. |
|
 Plastic Clips - Back Side |
 Pull Out Old Light Bulb |
| If the old light
bulb was recently turned on, be careful when you remove it. The bulb might
still be hot enough to burn your fingers. Grasp the old light bulb with your thumb and forefinger before pulling it straight out of the socket. |

 Empty Bulb Socket |
 Push In New Light Bulb |
| Push a new
miniature wedge base number 2825
light bulb straight in to the socket. If you would like to have brighter dome lights, install some compatible LED bulbs. |
|
 Snap In Reflector |
 Chrome Reflector Installed |
| Pop the chrome plastic reflector back in to place. | |
 Line Up Lens Cover |
 Re-Insert Plastic Tab |
| Line up the lens
cover with the light housing. First, re-insert the plastic tab on the rear edge of the lens cover back in to the housing. |
|
 Gently Pop In Clips |
 Test New Dome Light Bulb |
| Gently snap in the
retaining clips on the front edge of the lens cover. Test the new dome light bulbs by pressing on the lens covers to activate the "On/Off" switches. For more, please check out all of my
