"Hi, I'm Mark Blocker on behalf of Expert Village and in this segment we're going to cover the removal and cleaning of the interior dome light. Ok, to remove the bulb, as I explained before, we want to avoid any contact with the glass bulb with our fingers to avoid getting oil off of our skin on the bulb. It's held in by a little clip, just like the other ones. Just reach up there and pull the bulb out from the clips. Once the bulb's removed, we just want to take the moist portion of our rag and wipe down any dust and debris on the bulb itself; make sure that it's thoroughly clean. To reinstall the bulb; it just snaps back into it's place. Just make sure that the bulb clips in in both sockets. Take the rag and wipe down any dust inside the housing itself. Now that the bulb and the lens have been cleaned, and the housing; please watch our next segment on installing the lens cover."
