Interior Dome Light - Modification/Replace

[nunucello]

I would like to replace the interior dome lights with RED colored bulbs for night time viewing. I don't want to damage anything and was looking for advice on how to remove the clear coverings to gain access to the existing bulbs. I attached a pic which shows what looks like slits on the covers for maybe for removing them ? Any advice appreciated. Not sure if RED replacement bulbs are even available. Thank You.

Bet it wouldn't be too difficult to cut a sheet of red theatrical lighting gel to size and glue stick the edges to adhere it on the outside of the lenses.

May be a community theater group or high school/college drama department near you willing to part with a sheet or a scrap piece of gel for a song.

From what I recall from installing the new HomeLink rearview mirror there is no 'bulb'. It's a fully integrated circuit board so there is nothing to swap out. You'll need to go with a film.

There is no bulb to replace

Just get a red tint/film and lay it over; most new car interiors are LEDs now and nothing can be replaced unfortunately.

You are in NY. Go to a theatrical supply house, should be several in NY and get a sheet of gel. There will be about 50 shades of red to choose from with different opacity. Called Rosco gel.

I would take clear packing tape, cover the light and use marker to color the tape. that will let you see if its what you want.

As far as I know those bulbs are non serviceable.

Thank You to everyone with your responses. Very Much Appreciated. I will go of the ROsco Gel and get back to everyone with the results.
