Hello everyone...I own a 2015 Toyota Camry XSE with moonroof. I would like to replace the front map light bulbs (interior lights) with LED bulbs.

My question is...do I remove the lens covers (driver side and passenger side) to access the bulbs and replace them with the LED bulbs? Or do I remove the map light housing and replace the light bulbs from behind?

I am afraid to remove the lens covers because I did that with my rear map light bulbs and could not place the lens covers back on. I ended up breaking one of the lens covers. When I went to a Toyota dealer to purchase a new driver side lens cover, I found out two things:
1. I could not just purchase a lens cover. Instead, I had to purchase an entire rear map light lens covers including the housing.
2. The dealer told me that I should have accessed the light bulbs by removing the rear map light housing and then replaced the light bulbs from behind (without having the need to open the lens cover). This new rear map light housing cost me $43.

It was a painful experience for me and that's why I want to ask you how to replace the front map light bulbs.

I appreciate any advice and tips you could give me.

Thank you.

Thank you for your reply. I really appreciate it. I will try to be very careful and I hope I don't break the lens cover(s).

 

Great!

 

Good luck trying to grab those bulbs, I had to remove the whole unit and do it from behind
