Trunk Light Bulb Replacement Guide
How to change a burnt out cargo area
light bulb in the trunk of a revised 5th generation 2010-2014 Ford Mustang.
2012 Mustang Trunk Light |
Gently Pry Out Housing |
Pull Out Bulb Housing |
This
automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the face lifted 5th generation (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 &
2014) Ford Mustang in changing a burnt out cargo area light bulb in
the trunk. Owners of the earlier 5th generation Mustang from 2005 to 2009 and possibly the 4th generation 1994 to 2004 models with similar trunk light bulb housings may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. A replacement light bulb is part number 211-2 from manufacturers such as Sylvania, GE and Philips. If you would like to have a brighter trunk light, install a compatible 211-2 LED bulb. The only tool needed to replace the bulb is a small flathead screwdriver used to pry out the light housing. |

Press Plug Release Button |
Slide Off Electrical Connector |
Pull Out Old Bulb |
The first step is
to pop open the trunk and then locate the notch on the edge of the bulb
housing. Gently pry out the housing. Press the release button on the electrical connector and slide the plug straight off the end of the housing. Pull the old bulb straight out of the socket. |

Old # 211-2 Bulb Removed |
Insert New 211-2 Bulb |
Push On Power Plug |
Insert a new number
211-2 bulb in to the socket. I recommend buying the Sylvania 211-2 LL long life light bulbs since they tend to last for a very long time. (Tip - If you are installing an LED bulb and it doesn't work at first, try flipping it around in the socket. Push the power plug straight on to the base of the housing until it clicks securely in place. |

New Bulb Lit Up |
Re-Insert Bulb Housing |
Trunk Bulb Replaced |
Re-insert the wires
first and the power plug back in to rectangular hole in the plastic trunk
panel. Gently push in the other end of the light housing. For more,
