I have a 2000 concorde and I need to know how to replace the bulbs in the overhead console. These are the lights that are between the sunvisors and are turned on by pressing the lens. In advance thank you!

The housing pulls out (snaps in and out). I just fixed my last week. Bulb was not even burnt out just needed to be reseated.

There is ONE phillips head screw that you first take out. It is on the side of the console closest to the front of the car. Then useing a flat screw driver or putty knife pry down on the console. The console is not being held by two clips one on each side of the console. With a firm pull on either side, it will dislodge. To make removing the bulbs easier, release the locking tabs and pull the bulb sockets out the back of the console. This will give you easy access to the bulbs. They are #168. YOu'd want to use exact no because there are several bulbs that look like these but have different voltages (some will burn out quickly because they are of too low a voltage) while other may have a different candle power and you would not want one light to be brighter than the other one.
