automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the tenth generation (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018) GM

upgrading them both to brighter LED units.

The compatible replacement light bulb part number is 168. You can also use a brighter LED unit. No tools are needed to access and replace the light bulbs. |

 Footwell Bulb Exposed |
 Turn Off Interior Lights |
| The light bulbs can
easily be accessed at the bottom of the passenger or driver side footwell
panels. Move the "Off / Door / On" rocker switch for the interior lights to the "Off" position. |
|
 Pull Out Old Light Bulb |
 Empty Bulb Socket |
| Be careful when you
remove the old light bulb. If it was recently turned on, it 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. |

 Push In New # 168 Bulb |
 New Bulb Installed |
| Push a new
miniature wedge base bulb such as the number
168 straight in to the socket. There are also plenty of brighter LED bulb options available. |
|
 Turn Switch To "On" |
 Test New Footwell Light |
| Test the new
footwell light bulb by moving the rocker switch to the "On" position to
activate the interior lights. (Tip - If you installed an LED bulb and it doesn't work at first, try pulling it out and re-installing it with the electrical contacts in the opposite orientation.) For more, check out all of my
