REMOVAL




1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Using a small thin-bladed screwdriver, gently pry the notched (forward) end (2) of the reading lamp lens away from the overhead console far enough to unsnap the lens from the two pivot pins in the lamp housing.
3. Pull the notched end of the lens downward and slide it forward far enough to disengage the switch tab (1) on the rearward edge of the lens from between the overhead console and the switch plunger.
4. Remove the lens from the housing.
