This automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist owners of the first generation (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 & 2016) GMC Terrain in changing a burnt out footwell light bulb located below the dashboard.

Owners of other General Motors vehicles such as the Buick Verano, Regal, LaCrosse, Cascada, Encore, Enclave, Envision, GMC Canyon, Sierra 1500, Acadia, Yukon, Denali, Savana, Spark, Sonic, Cruze, Malibu, Impala, Volt, Camaro, Corvette, SS, Trax, Equinox, Traverse, Tahoe, Suburban, Colorado, Silverado and Express may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

A replacement light bulb is part number 168 from various manufacturers such as Sylvania, GE, PIAA and Eiko.

If you would like to have a brighter foot well light, install a compatible 168 LED bulb.

The only tool needed to access and replace the bulb is a small flathead screwdriver used to pry out the light housing.
