[QUOTE="Tommy VanNess, post: 1005026, member: 54664"] Thanks Yardsale. I do actually have power to the overhead console. I checked the bulbs before removing it, but I think the display panel is shot. (burn marks on the left side). I can solder in a new one, but it would be very sloppy work as I have not perfected my soldering skills yet. I will be checking eBay as well as a few of the local salvage yards for the entire console. ($40 is a great deal) After my post, I tried removing the bulbs, and you are right. The plastic is so cheap and brittle. Part of the grey bulb holder cracked, and now the bulb won't come out because it is too big to pull out of the black plastic surrounding. I did read Justin Ellsworth's project about adding LED's to the map lights, so I may do that while I am at it. Thanks for the tips Yardsale. (just checked eBay and there is one for $65) Tommy [/QUOTE]
