the terminals to my dome light are all messed up due to trying to get a led dome light to fit properly with out it moving back and forth
i eventually said screw it because i kept blowing fuses
now sometimes when i open my door the light isnt on because the terminals to the housing were bent when i was trying to get the led bulb to fit. and i have to tap the housing for it to go on.

i want to buy this

Interior Dome Map Light Lights CHEVY COBALT 2007 07:eBay Motors (item 350266125038 end time Nov-15-09 16:45:26 PST)
but does anyone know how i take my current one out and put this one in?

some one said i may have to remove the whole head liner. if that is needed do you think if i was to take the ebay one to a dealer and ask them to replace my current one with that one do you think they would?

hmm. yeah i looked under the lens and there is no screws as another person said there was.
if i go to the dealer and tell them the original bulb blew and i got another factory bulb and i had problems putting it in and the terminals are bent resulting in the light not being on sumtimes do you think they will fix it under warranty?

yeah i mean i wanna replace it myself but i don't know exactly for a fact how to change it out. and i don't want to experiment and than mess shit up. unless someone can verify how to change it correctly.
i can go to the other dealer which is closer to my house.
ill tell them the dome light doesn't stay on sometimes and i changed the bulb with another one because the bulb blew and the terminals are bent

holy crap!
no dude i need a whole new dome light (assembly) not the bulb
my terminals are bent like i originally said because i messed around with an led bulb a while ago.
