Default Some light bulbs out

I’ve got several interior light bulbs that need to be replaced. See pics. Plus the front passenger and rear window switch are not lit. Should the be?

How do you get to the bulbs to replace them?

WRONG about the H3 once again! They are screw in bulbs.

You can also use thin washers as I did. I recommend replacing them all while you're in there.

Glad you chimed in Tainter. My soldering is getting harder and harder to do neatly these days and thanks for the amazon and youtube links. Pretty sure I can handle it now.

That little gal know her stuff.

Tainter
Do you know if the same bulbs fit the window switches and the front and rear differential lock displays?

Should be the exact same bulb.
Don't forget to remove the little blue condom off of each bulb and reuse it on the new ones.
If you don't the brightness will be different.

Cool

The bulbs are cheap and there's plenty of YouTube videos on how to do it.

Does the 2009 H3 have a light bulb in the front passenger window switch?

My 2009 H3 has a bulb in the passenger switch but I can’t get it to work. I guess I need to replace the switch.
