How do you replace the dome light on a 1996 Mazda Protege?

1. Locate the dome light. It is located in the center of the roof, just behind the front seats.

2. Remove the cover. It is held in place by two screws. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the screws.

3. Remove the old bulb. It is a small, round bulb with two metal contacts on the bottom. Gently twist the bulb counterclockwise to remove it.

4. Insert the new bulb. Align the metal contacts on the bottom of the bulb with the two holes in the socket. Gently twist the bulb clockwise until it is secure.

5. Replace the cover. Line up the two holes in the cover with the two screws in the roof. Use the Phillips head screwdriver to replace the screws.
