Reading/Map Light

I have a 2003 GT. The Reading light up by the moonroof controls burnt out? I cant find anything in the manual about it, except how to turn it on/off. Any idea how to get to it or what bulb it takes? Thanks in advance

it's a #1895 bulbTo get to it, you have to remove the one screw you can see on the cover, then pry/pull the whole cover off. Don't try to take off just the clear plasticon mine, I rarely use it and sometimes it won't come on, but if I hit the switch on and off enough times, it starts to work. Might worth trying a hundred cycles on the switch to see if that cleans it up before buying a replacement bulb

I have searched high & low for this particular bulb. Local auto parts stores dont carry it. I have tried ebay but cannot find a correct match. The wattage always seems to be off. Any suggestions?

Go for an LED one. I went full-LED on my interior lights and it lights up the night. Just plug and play. Although the dummy plug I had to go into the spot where the bulb went did have the polarity wrong, so I had to switch the wires, but that might be seller-specific. They're all over ebay. I didn't get bulb-specific ones, they just sent me the LEDs and dummy bulbs.

Thanks for the advice. How much did you pay for the map light?

Thank you so much for the bulb # and the pic and play by play! (Much needed . It was burnt out. For anyone else, they have the bulbs at Advance Auto Parts. Thanks again
