Dumbest question posted by the dumbest person. One of the cargo side panel lights is out in my 2018 Limited 4x4. Is the fix a fuse or a bulb? Normally I just take this to the dealer but I’m guessing this is so mundane and easy even a garden variety village idiot like me should be able to fix this.

What’s the solution, folks? It’s the left light that’s out.

If just one of the lights is out, it's the bulb. Just push the little tab with a screwdriver or a butter knife and you can pop the bulb out. Then go get a replacement at a car parts store. I replaced both of mine with LEDs and they're much brighter. Here's the bulbs I used:

I replaced both with fixed LED units instead of an LED bulb.

Example (check other for price compatibility):

Amazon.com: Mingrui test LED Luggage Trunk Lights car Interior lamp for Dodge Chrysler 200 Dart for J'eep Renegade Cherokee KL for Fiat 500 500X Car Storage Compartment Light Xenon White : Automotive


I found the originals are a pain to open up to replace the bulbs.
Well, I guess that's what i'm going to have to do because the bulbs the previous reply said to buy are the completely wrong thing. I'm gonna need the whole unit instead. Thanks very much for the link!(y)
