Hi New Member..someone with a 08 should be arriving before today is over to help you, if not take it to the dealer and let the service manager show you how...

Hi. NO it is the interior light next to the sunroof switch. There are actually 2 lights. The driver side is out.

Not sure if this helps... Looks like the lenses (#7 & 9) just snap out but I'm not real sure about that. Bulbs are #3.

First of all - thanks for taking the time. Sorry to ask but I really dont want to break anything. Can you expand on "snap-out? The picute of #7 and 9 looks like what I have. Thanks for everything.

I can only guess cause I don't have a 2008.... I don't see any fasteners, so I'm thinking if you pry the lens down with a real thin spatula or something, it'll snap out. Be careful because I'm not sure about that.

Maybe the owner's manual has some guidance???
