| This
automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the tenth generation (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018) GM
Chevy Impala in changing a burnt out cargo area light bulb in the
trunk. Owners of other General Motors vehicles such as the Malibu, Cruze, Camaro, Sonic, Spark, Volt, Corvette, Trax, Equinox, Traverse, Tahoe, Suburban, SS Sedan, Bolt, Colorado, Silverado, Buick Verano, Regal, LaCrosse, Cascada, Encore, Envision, Enclave, Canyon, Sierra 1500, Terrain, Acadia, Yukon, Savana, ATS, CTS, XTS, CT6, XT5, SRX and Escalade may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. The compatible replacement part number is 2825 or you can also use any other miniature wedge base light bulbs such as the 168, 194, W5W or a compatible LED unit. The only tool needed to access and replace the light bulb is a small flathead screwdriver or a plastic pry bar tool. |
