Required tools and materials:

* Flat head screwdriver
* Phillips screwdriver
*Clean cloth or gloves
* New T5 bulb with W1W socket (if using LED bulb, make sure it matches the original one in size and polarity)

The procedure for replacing the automatic transmission light bulb:

1. Make sure the car is parked and the ignition key is removed.

2. Remove the front panel around the automatic transmission lever. Using a flathead screwdriver, carefully release the latches on the edges of the panel and remove it.

3. Disconnect the wiring harness connector under the panel. Press the connector latch and pull it out.

4. Locate the light bulb socket on the panel. It is located at the back of the panel and is secured with a Phillips head screw.

5. Unscrew the screw and remove the light bulb socket. Be careful not to damage the wires.

6. Gently pull the metal tab on the bulb to remove it from the socket. Do not touch the glass part of the lamp.

7. Insert the new light bulb into the socket. Make sure that the tab on the lamp matches the corresponding groove in the socket.

8. Insert the light bulb socket back into the panel. Turn the screw to secure the chuck.

9. Connect the wiring harness connector. Click it into place.

10. Reinstall the front panel around the automatic transmission lever. Press it until it clicks into place.

Note: If you are using an LED lamp, make sure it is oriented in the correct polarity. If the lamp does not light, try turning it 180 degrees.
