automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the second generation (2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016
& 2017) Chrysler 300, 300C or 300S sedan in changing a burnt out
courtesy step light located at the bottom of the plastic interior
door panel. Owners of other Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and RAM vehicles such as the Town & Country, 200, Pacifica, Avenger, Charger, Journey, Challenger, Dart, Durango, Magnum, Grand Caravan, Grand Cherokee, Renegade, Wrangler, Compass, Liberty, Patriot, ProMaster, 1500 and C/V Tradesman minivan may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. A replacement "rigid loop" base light bulb is part number 562 which is available from various manufacturers such as Sylvania, GE, PIAA and Eiko. You can also install a brighter 562 LED bulb. The only tool needed to access and replace the light bulbs is a small flathead screwdriver or a plastic pry bar tool. |

 Light Housing Removed |
 Remove Old Light Bulb |
 Old # 567 Bulb |
| To prevent from
scratching the plastic surfaces, you may choose to either cover the tip of
your screwdriver with a thin micro fiber cloth or you can use a plastic
automotive pry bar tool. Insert the blade of the screwdriver in to the notch on the front edge of the light housing. Gently pry out the light housing and remove it from the bottom of the door panel. Press in the release tab on the white plastic electrical connector before sliding it straight out of the socket. If the old bulb was recently turned on, be careful since it might still be hot enough to burn your fingers. Pull the old "rigid loop" base bulb off the metal electrical contacts. |

the new 562 bulb to the

If you are using an LED bulb and it doesn't work at first, try flipping it around in the socket. Test the new light bulb by pressing the "Unlock" button on the key fob to activate the interior lights. For more, check out all of my
