Anyone replaced their ashtray light?

[waketripper]

I got the proper bulb, but cannot figure out how to get to the bulb without pulling a bunch of the dash apart... any help appreciated!

The ash tray comes out easy enough. You need to pull the center console front panel, the small vertical piece at the front, then the flat panel where the cup holder and shifter boot is, then you can remove the ash tray unit.

Are there any DIY instructions?

Sorry, I did not do any! I have to say however, that the effect is very minimal and I'm not sure worth the effort it took to replace it....

Where exactly is the bulb located? And what type of bulb it uses?

The glove box bulb can be accessed the same way as accessing the air cabin filter which is a pain. I was able to replace that.
However, I was not able to find an ashtray light anywhere and I took the entire ashtray out. There was no light at least not for my car. If there is a light bulb then it is not connected directly to the ashtray itself, it has to be mounted somewhere above the ashtray.

I don’t know if anyone knows the replacement bulb for the ashtray.
