    yup..you have to unscrew the cover and I do believe the socket drops out. I think they are 20watt halogens available from the dealership. I can't recall but there my be a retaining screw holding the socket in.

              FYI:

              Sylvania 3893 bulbs (13.5V, 4W) fit just fine in the map lights and put out adequate light, and they are $4.95 at Autozone.

                Using a small screwdriver, pry out the panel holding the swivel light socket from the bottom of the mirror.



                Rotate the thin metal tab that holds the bulb in the socket. The bulb slides right out.



                I'm using 2 Osram 64111 12V 5W bulbs.
