01 Silverado ashtray light

[Aslag]

The ashtray light in my 01 Silverado appears to be burned out. I don't smoke and only use the tray to keep stuff in and would like to see into tray at night. I pulled the tray but can't see how to access the bulb, I see no screws holding the tray mounting bracket in place. Anyone know the procedure for changing this bulb?

1. Ensure the headlamp switch is in the OFF position.
2. Remove the knee bolster.
3. Squeeze the sides of the instrument panel storage compartment.
4. Pull out the compartment.
5. Remove the ashtray assembly by unsnapping the retainers.
6. Remove the lamp assembly and the shield from the top of the ashtray bracket.
7. Remove the shield from the lamp assembly.

8. Remove the bulb from the base by pulling the bulb straight out of the base.

Is the "knee bolster" the lower trim piece below the ashtray and the 3 power ports? And is the "instrument panel storage compartment" the panel that contains the power ports and ashtray? Thanks

"Knee bolster" is the trim that runs under the steering column, lower dash, that your knees are level with. I/P storage compartment is the glove box.

Because you are not authorized. I think the instructions are pretty self explanitory.

How about LED for the Ash tray?
