I have a '13 Ram 1500 CC Sport and my driver's side "map light" seems to be very dim. I have warranty remaining on my truck, but my dealer is telling me that this is one of the things that IS NOT covered! I have the "gold" package, too, but that doesn't seem to matter... they're not going to replace it on my warranty. :mad3:

My question is, can I just replace the bulb? Has anyone done this? If so, any advice/help would be much appreciated. My dealer says he will try to get me some info on how to take the overhead console with the map lights down/out... now that's customer service! NOT

Anyways, any help would be much appreciated and I have "searched" all around in the 4th gen section.

Thanks.

I was able to replace my stock bulbs with bulbs from Superbright leds. Some trim levels the bulbs are on some sort of computer chip, but my bighorn I just popped off the cover and pulled the bulb out.

Great! That's what I was hoping to hear! I asked at the dealer, but they said that the WHOLE overhead console needed to be replaced... and that it wasn't covered by warranty! Total bs.

I'll give it a try. Where did you get the bulbs from?

Thanks.
