The development and release of the 7th generation Camaro has been delayed, so the current sixth generation will probably continue into the 2022 and 2023 model years.

Owners of other General Motors vehicles from Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac such as the Malibu, Impala, Bolt, Corvette, Trailblazer, Trax, Equinox, Blazer, Traverse, Tahoe, Suburban, Colorado, Silverado, Express, Encore, Envision, Enclave, Regal, Sierra, Terrain, Acadia, Yukon, Canyon, Savana, XT4, XT5, XT6, Escalade, CT4, CT5, CTS and CT6 may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

The compatible replacement miniature wedge base light bulb is part number 194 which is available from various manufacturers such as Sylvania, Toshiba, Maxell, Philips, Bosch and PIAA.

If you would like to have a brighter cargo area light, install a 194 LED bulb.

The only tool needed to access and replace the bulb is a small flat head screwdriver or a plastic pry bar tool.

The first two steps are to open the trunk lid and locate the cargo area light housing on the "ceiling" of the trunk.

There is a small notch on the left (driver) side of the light housing.

Gently pry out the left (driver) side of the light housing from the ceiling of the trunk.

Carefully pull the housing out of the opening.

Try to avoid pulling on or stressing the wires.

Push in the release tab on the black plastic electrical connector before pulling the power plug straight out of its socket.

The bulb might still be hot enough to burn your fingers.

Use the flat head screwdriver to gently push the base of the old light bulb straight out of the socket.

If you would like to have a brighter cargo area light that will also last much longer before burning out, install a compatible replacement 194 LED bulb.

Slide the electrical connector straight into its socket.

You should feel or hear the power plug "click" securely into place.

Then pop in the retaining clip on the left (driver) side of the housing.

Double check that the light housing is securely in place.

If the new light bulb didn't turn on as soon as you replaced the electrical connector, press the "Unlock" button on the key fob to re-activate the interior lights.

Tip - If you installed an LED bulb and it doesn't work, try removing it from the socket, rotate it 180 degrees and push it back into the socket. Some LED bulbs are "polarized" and will only work when the "+" positive and "-" negative electrical contacts are in the correct orientation.
