Interior Lights for Chevrolet Equinox

Whether youre driving at night or you just need a little extra light during the day, your Chevrolet Equinoxs interior lights help you to quickly find exactly what you need in your vehicle. You may need to replace your interior lights if they become broken or damaged, or you may want to change the type of lights you have in your vehicle.

What are the features of the Chevrolet Equinoxs interior lights?
  • Dimmable: The driver can dim all the inside lights to meet his or her needs. If someone needs a reading light but doesnt want to disturb other passengers, the driver can dim the light for the reader.
  • Dual rear courtesy lights: On some Equinox vehicles, there are two separate lights in the cargo dome light that can be turned off and on individually, allowing for more targeted light.
  • Total control: The Equinoxs map lights have a switch between them that allows you to turn both lights on at the same time, or you can touch the lights themselves to turn them on individually.
What types of interior lights are available for an Equinox?

Chevrolet has made new original equipment manufacturer models readily available. If you prefer, you can also purchase a used light from a donor vehicle.

When it comes to the light bulbs, there are more options. LED bulbs can be installed in all in-vehicle lights to provide a higher brightness level. These are especially handy in the map and courtesy light fixtures, since these are often used to find something that has fallen on the floor. You can also get generic aftermarket courtesy dome lights that already have the LEDs built in if you prefer to go that route.

How do you install interior lights on a Chevy Equinox?

Replacing the inside lights on your Equinox is quite easy. All you need is a trim removal tool or a thin, flathead screwdriver.

  • Remove the fixture from its cutout by using the trim removal tool to slide underneath the plastic rim.
  • Disconnect the electrical connection point on the fixture, and push the OnStar microphone through the fixture frame.
  • Connect the new fixture, ensuring the lights work before re-installing the fixture, push the microphone back through, and then clip the microphone in place.
  • Snap the new fixture into place, using the trim removal tool to push any excess headliner material under the edge of the fixture.
  • Finally, test the light one more time to make sure nothing came loose while you were snapping the fixture into place.
How do you replace a light bulb on an Equinox?

The procedure for replacing a light bulb is similar to replacing the entire fixture. You will still need to remove the fixture, and, while its not required that you remove the electrical connection, it makes it much easier to work with. Once you have the fixture removed, you can pull the old bulb out of the socket, and then, while supporting the socket, push the new bulb into place.
