The Stupid Interior Questions Thread

[Zanter22]

How is the rear dome light bezel in a Tahoe removed. Can't seem to find any instructors and don't want to break it trying. Thanks.

Depends, what year is the truck? Square older dome housing or new rounded one?

It's a 1996 2 door Tahoe.

If you look along the long sides of the center lens, there's a tiny gap in the middle where you can fit a very small flat head screwdriver. Wiggle it up in there and gently press inward and down, that will release the clip and allow you to drop the lens. You may have to kind of do it on both sides at the same time but mine will always drop just messing with one.

You're welcome! The bulb size is a 211-2 festoon if you don't have a replacement already.

I've seen many bulb numbers for these things. To put it simply the center dome is a 42mm festoon. And the clicker maps on each side are rigid loop 42mm festoons. Yes you can get LEDs for them. Yes there is a clear center dome lens. It's available on LMCtruck for about ten bucks. If you would ever consider converting to LEDs I'm your guy. And the screwdriver trick is literally the only way to get those lenses off. Shouldn't be too difficult. The lenses are pretty resilient. Too bad the 95+ heater control clips aren't hahaha

I see. So the middle knob just pops off. Also are the leds wired in parallel? Thanks.
