This
automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the 1st generation (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 & 2014)
Dodge Journey SUV in changing a burnt out overhead dome light bulb
above the 2nd row passenger seats. Owners of other Chrysler, Dodge and RAM vehicles with similar dome light housings such as the Town & Country, 300, 200, Avenger, Challenger, Charger, Dart, Durango, Grand Caravan, and Ram C/V Tradesman may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. A replacement "festoon" or "fuse" style bulb is part number 212-2 from manufacturers such as Sylvania, GE, Eiko, and PIAA. You may also use a compatible 212-2 LED unit. The only tool needed to access the bulb is a small flathead screwdriver used to pry open the hinged translucent lens cover. |

Insert Flathead Screwdriver |
Swing Open Hinged Cover |
Pull Out Old Light Bulb |
The first step is
to locate the small notch on the left side of the dome light bulb housing. Carefully insert the blade of your small flathead screwdriver in to the notch and gently pry out the left side of the lens cover. Swing open the hinged lens cover from the left (driver) side over to the right (passenger) side. Grasp the old bulb with your thumb and forefinger before pulling it straight out of the socket. I recommend buying the Sylvania 212-2 LL long life light bulbs since they tend to last for years. |
