dj3stripes Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 ok, this is going to sound a bit stupid......... I had my center console ripped out of my 95 legacy sedan. When i went to reassemble it, I noticed that the bulb for the gear shifter was dead. I wanted to remove it and replace, but I can't get the bugger out. How do I get this thing out?! I assume that I can take it to an auto parts store and show them what needs to be replaced.... however I need to take it out first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same model and year and I had to replace it too and it was hard to take out. Use a cloth so that if the bulb breaks in your fingers you don't get hurt. I don't remember of it's a push in and twist to get it out or just yank it out type. find out which type of bulb it is, go to a part store and purchase one and you'll see what needs to be done.

Skip Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 My statement may sound a bit obvious but There must be a Subaru dealer in Omaha For the price difference ~2 USD vs 1 USD why not get the correct lamp (wattage esp., that the autoparts may guess at even with the lamp in hand) Once you have the correct lamp it's base config should be obvious -no? Sorry for being logical, it is not normaly my nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123c Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Yes, take the bulbs to the dealer to make sure you get the right ones, unless your dealer is like mine, and can't figure out what the correct bulb is, like they did with the dash on my old Legacy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrwitty_1 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 If I remember correctly, once you get the covers off the socket twists out and then it takes a Wagner#194 push in bulb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
