    It looks like you lost the socket too! (pic 31)

    To get at everything, open the eyeglass holder and locate the two phillips screws near the rear sides. Take them out. (pic 30)

    There are two plastic connectors at the rear of the overhead console. Firmly pull straight down on the console and they will pop out. (pic 32)

    Now you can locate the missing socket and bulb. Be careful not to yank the wires that attach to the overhead console.

    To reassemble, reverse the procedure.

    Good luck.

    Sorry the pics are phone camera. I have LED lamps.
