Re: 2009 Pontiac Vibe GT Bulb replacement

GM no longer carries the bulb. Toyota has it for $5 and change. The part number is 9098111018.

Re: 2009 Pontiac Vibe GT Bulb replacement

The bulb is an easy change. Finding it is another :-) Pull the radio plastic cover off first. Pull the transmission plastic off next, The PRDN indicator snaps out and then the tiny 14 v 1.4 W bulb is exposed. It has a small rubber cover on it. I grabbed a 14 v 1.4 Number 74 bulb. Don't make that mis...

Re: Map light fixture

I have the same unit with the sunroof. I tried the credit card to no avail. i am not sure how to get that off. When you fished the socket out don't you have to remove the housing to put it back in? If so did you have screws to remove or the metal tangs? I am not seeing any screws.

Thanks

2009 Pontiac Vibe GT Bulb replacement

I read how to fix the bulb in the map light. Pop off the unit and replace. Mine shot up in the roof. I also have the sun roof. Anyway, getting to that one. I notice the shifter bulb(s) is out. Is that a pop off of the plastic to change? Besides the instruments, what else has a bulb? I gave the car t...

I have a 09 Vibe GT and need to buy new struts. Will the VIN tell me if I have FE2 or FE3 suspension? If so is there a site I can check?
