Interior light — replacement of lamps, removal and installation (Kalina 1119)

To replace a faulty lamp, simply remove the lampshade diffuser. To replace the individual lighting lamp switch and to clean the contacts of the interior lighting lamp switch, it is necessary to remove the lampshade.

Replacing the lamp

1. Prepare the car for work (see "Preparing the car for maintenance and repair").

2. Using a slotted screwdriver with a thin blade, release the two locking tabs and remove the diffuser.



3. To replace the interior light bulb, press the spring contacts and remove it. We install a new lamp in the lampshade.



4. To replace the individual lighting lamp, press it and turn it counterclockwise. We install the lamp in the reverse order.

5. Insert the two protrusions on the lower part of the diffuser into the grooves of the interior light housing and press on the upper part of the diffuser until the latches snap into place.

Removal

1. Remove the interior light diffuser (see above).

2. Remove the lower part of the lampshade trim from engagement with the body.



3. Remove the trim.

4. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the two screws securing the lamp to the ceiling of the passenger compartment.



5. Remove the lampshade from the hole in the ceiling trim.



6. By squeezing the spring clamps on both sides, we disconnect the wiring harness connectors.

Installation

We install the lampshade in the reverse order.
