This automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist owners of the first generation (2017, 2018, 2019 and possibly also the 2020 and 2021 model years) Chrysler Pacifica minivan in changing a burnt out vanity mirror light bulb in the sun visor or upgrading both bulbs to brighter LED units.

Owners of other FCA (Fiat Chrysler America) vehicles from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, RAM or Fiat such as the Town & Country, 300, 200, Charger, Challenger, Durango, Journey, Grand Caravan, Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, Compass, Renegade, Patriot, RAM 1500, RAM ProMaster City, Fiat 500 and Fiat 124 may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

The compatible replacement sub-miniature wedge base light bulb part number is Mopar 6501966.

Other compatible bulbs include the Sylvania 74 or a 74 LED.

The only tool needed to access and replace the light bulbs is a small flathead screwdriver or a plastic pry bar tool.

There are two small notches on the outer edge of each lens cover for the two vanity mirror light housings.

Insert the flathead screwdriver into one of the two notches and gently pry out the lens cover.

You may need to re-insert the screwdriver into the other notch and pry again.

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 instead use a plastic pry bar tool.

Try to avoid using excessive force. The lens cover should pop out relatively easily.

You'll notice that there are four plastic tabs on the back side of the lens cover that serve as retaining clips.

You could also use a pair of needle nose pliers to pull the bulb straight out of the socket.

Be very careful and use only gently pressure to pull out the old light bulb to prevent from having it shatter and send shards of glass towards your eyes and face.

You could also use a Sylvania 74 or a compatible 74 LED bulb.

Slide the new light bulb straight into the socket.

The new bulb should turn on immediately.

If not, open and close the mirror cover or 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 at first, try pulling out the light bulb, rotating the electrical contacts 180 degrees and pushing it back into place. Some LED bulbs are "polarized" and will only work when installed with the "+" positive and "-" negative electrical contacts in the correct position.

Try to avoid using excessive force. The lens cover should pop back in relatively easily.

Test the new vanity lights by opening and closing the mirror cover.

Be sure to record the bulb change in your vehicle's service records.
