| This
automotive "how-to" guide was specifically written to assist owners
of the 2nd generation 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 & 2012 Jeep Liberty in replacing a burnt
out overhead cargo area light bulb. Owners of similar Jeep, Dodge or Chrysler vehicles such as the Cherokee, Compass, Patriot, Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, Grand Caravan, Nitro, Durango, Journey, and the Town & Country minivan may also find these instructions to be helpful. A replacement cargo area light bulb is part # 214-2 from manufacturers such as Sylvania, GE, Eiko, and Lumapro. You may also choose to replace them with brighter 42mm or 41mm Festoon style LED bulbs. The only tool needed to replace the cargo area light bulb is a small flathead screwdriver used to pry open the lens cover. |

 Swing Lens Open To Left |
 Pull Out Old # 214-2 Bulb |
| Insert the blade of
the flathead screwdriver into the notch at the middle right (driver side) of
the cargo area light bulb housing. Gently pry out the lens cover and swing it open to the left. Carefully pull out the old # 214-2 festoon style bulb straight out of the socket with your thumb and forefinger. |

 Cargo Area Bulb Socket |
 Push In New # 214-2 Bulb |
 New Bulb Installed |
| Push a new #
214-2
bulb straight into the cargo area light socket.
If you are installing an LED bulb and it doesn't work at first, it might be "polarized". So just flip it around 180 degrees in the socket. |

| Swing the
translucent lens cover closed to the right and gently snap the tab into
place. Test the new cargo area light bulb by opening a passenger door or the rear tailgate door. For more, check out my other
