Owners of other Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and RAM vehicles such as the 4C, Giulia, 200, 300, Town & Country, Challenger, Charger, Dart, Durango, Journey, Grand Caravan, Compass, Grand Cherokee, Wrangler, Renegade, Cherokee, Patriot, 1500, C/V Tradesman and ProMaster may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

A replacement "festoon" or "fuse" type bulb is part number 6461 or 6418 which are available from various manufacturers such as Sylvania, GE, Eiko and PIAA.

If you would like to have brighter map lights, install some compatible 6461 LED bulbs or 6418 LED bulbs.

The only tool needed to access and replace the map light bulbs is a small flathead screwdriver.

Gently pry out the rear edge of the overhead console with the flathead screwdriver.

You may need to pry at more than one location along the rear edge to release the metal retaining clips.

Pull the light housing out of the headliner.

Gently pry open the left side of the white plastic cover.

Swing open the hinged white plastic cover from the left side over to the right.

If the old bulbs were recently illuminated, be careful since they might still be hot enough to burn your fingers.

Pull the old bulb out of the socket.

(Tip - If you are installing an LED bulb and it doesn't work at first, try flipping it around in the socket.)

Swing the white plastic door closed over the bulb sockets.

Line up the housing with the headliner and re-insert the tabs on the front edge.

Test the new map light bulbs by moving the rocker switches to the "On" position.

I recommend moving the left (driver) side switch to the center "Door" position so that the two map / dome lights will turn on when either the driver or passenger door is opened.
