automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the third generation (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013,
2014, 2015 & possibly also the 2016 model year) Dodge Challenger in
changing a burnt out vanity mirror light bulb in the sun visor. Owners of other Chrysler, Dodge and RAM vehicles such as the Town & Country, 300, 200, Avenger, Charger, Journey, Dart, Durango, Grand Caravan, and Ram C/V Tradesman minivan may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. The OEM vanity mirror bulb is part number TS-14V1.5CP44. Other compatible miniature "fuse" type vanity light bulbs include the TS-14V1CP, 6614F, TS-14V1CP34, ACDelco 13502343 and Eiko 40842 - 6614F. The only tool needed to change the bulbs is a small flathead screwdriver used to pry out the lens cover. |

 Lens Cover Removed |
 Gently Pry Out Old Bulb |
 Old Bulb Removed |
| Flip open the
plastic mirror cover to expose the two vanity lights. To prevent from scratching the plastic surfaces, you may choose to cover the tip of your screwdriver with a thin micro fiber cloth. Gently pry out the plastic lens cover and set it aside in a safe place.
Very carefully push the bottom metal end cap out of the socket and then remove the old bulb. Avoid prying on the glass part of the old bulb to prevent from having it shatter and send glass shards in to your face. |
