You'ld think since I just finished replacing the u-joints the dome light would be a piece of cake. Not. It doesn't appear to be possible to replace it behind the center mounted stop lamp on the cab, and I can't tell how the lens/lens-frame comes off inside the cab if it does. I don't want to break anything, so before going further I thought I'ld ask for your wisdom. They're probably all the same, I don't know, but my truck is a 2002 Ranger Reg Cab XL.

Please Help,
Craig

 

a good pull should get it off...

 

I was thinking that, but just the pulling I did seemed like it was going to bend the lens frame. Are you sure?

 

What I do is get a big flat-head screw driver and stick is on the "clip" on the side (if you look close you can kind of see a little place). Then while pushing from the other side, turn the screwdriver sideways and it should pop off just fine.

 

Thanks Oh5Edge! That worked perfectly with the big flathead screwdriver.

 

Not a problem man. You're welcome.

 

I had half the same problem for only a coupel minutes before shane showed me the little pull technique you do on it.. it really only takes a short minute to get in and change things around =)

Thanks for the bulb again Shane! Like I said before, its amazing how much light thsoe put out when yoru used to there not being anything

 

^^Mike.....no probs man. Too bad i didn't have any of those bad *** bright *** bulbs for ya.

Oh...not to rain on your parade...but us and the original poster, have completely different dome lights. His is a little more tricky. lol.

 

Nothing a quick strong pull and slight cursing cant fix
