automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the fifth generation (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 & 2015)
GM Chevrolet Camaro in changing a burnt out cargo area light bulb in
the trunk. Owners of other General Motors vehicles such as the Spark, Cruze, Malibu, Sonic, Impala, Traverse, Tahoe, Trax, SS, GMC Terrain, Acadia, Yukon, Buick Verano, Regal, LaCrosse, Encore, Enclave and the Holden Barina may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. A replacement trunk light bulb is part number 194 which is available from manufacturers such as Sylvania, GE, PIAA and Eiko. If you would like to have a brighter trunk light, choose a compatible 194 LED bulb. The only tool needed to replace the bulb is a flathead screwdriver or a plastic pry bar tool used to pry out the light housing. |
