Jeep Renegade Front Side
Marker Light Bulb Replacement Guide
How to change a burnt out front side
marker light bulb in the front side view mirror of a 2015 to 2018 Jeep Renegade.
 2016 Renegade Side Mirror |
 Pry Off Plastic Cover |
 Release Retaining Clips |
| This
automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the first generation (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and possibly
also the 2019 and 2020 model years) Jeep Renegade SUV in changing a
burnt out front side marker light bulb located in the front side
view mirror housing. Owners of other Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, RAM or Fiat vehicles such as the 200, 300, Pacifica, Town & Country, Avenger, Charger, Challenger, Journey, Dart, Durango, Magnum, Grand Caravan, Fiat 500 500X or 500L, Fiat 124 Spider, Grand Cherokee, 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 2827 (or WY5W). You can also use a brighter 2827 LED unit. The only tool needed to access and replace the light bulb is a small flathead screwdriver or a plastic pry bar tool. |

 Continue Releasing Clips |
 Pry Bottom Edge |
 Bottom Inner Edge |
| To prevent from
scratching the plastic surfaces, I recommend either covering the tip of your
screwdriver or instead use a plastic pry
bar tool. Gently pry off the plastic cover on the front of the side view mirror housing. Start by prying in between the round frame that surrounds the mirror and the rounded plastic cover. You may need to re-insert the tool in several places to fully remove the plastic cover. Try to avoid using excessive force. The cover should pop off relatively easily. |

 Old Light Bulb Removed |
 Push In New Light Bulb |
| Pull the old light
bulb straight out of the socket. Push a new amber colored number 2827 (or WY5W) miniature wedge base light bulb straight in to the socket. If you would like to have brighter side marker lights, install some compatible 2827 LED bulbs. |
||
 Test New Light Bulb |
 Re-Attach Bulb Housing |
 Secure Retaining Clips |
| I recommend
installing the new side marker light bulb before re-assembling the side view
mirror assembly. Push the light housing back in to place on the mirror. |
||
 |
 Line Up Black Plastic Cover |
 Pop Cover Back In Place |
| Make sure that the
retaining clips for the light housing click securely in to place. Lower the plastic cover on to the side view mirror assembly. |
||
 Gently Snap In Clips |
 |
 Testing New Side Marker |
| Gently pop all of
the retaining clips back in to place to secure the plastic cover. Test the new side marker light bulb by turning on the headlights or by pressing the "Unlock" button to activate the exterior lights. For more,
