Quick question here, does anyone have a Cobalt or G5 (with no sunroof obviously) that has a dome light with two lights on the front half in addition to the large one aimed at the rear seats? I've been cruising around visiting all the dealerships in my area to check on this but every damn car has the dome light with just the giant light on the back half and the button on the front. I'm trying to figure out if these exist, so if you have one, please post what year and model your car is, and a picture would be just super fantastic cause then I'd have a visual aid.

 

I don't.

 

That's the only reply I get? Come on people it's a simple question here.

 

Only one large to the rear...

 

There was a guy on here I believe that installed a rearview mirror in his Cobalt with map lights on the bottom of it.

 

mine is like that, i have an 06 2.4.

but, on mine, the two little lights are actually on the back side of it. so, they like light up directly over head.

 

isn't it like that on the sedans only?

I have a coupe and it's just a half circle

 

i have the full one like ur talking about. and if you want the actual unit itself - the switch ill have that avail soon too

oh and its the other way around half circle pointed forward and the 2 quarters for the rear

 

You mean you'll have the entire dome light unit available? Name a price if so.

 

not the entire unit no... i only have the actual light fixture and a half broken switch. i could probably get the cover lens if you really wanted me to.

id probably sell the fixture for 5 bucks and shipping to Canada is probably around 10 (id have to check) then whatever the dealer wants for the lens

 

Alright, I'll try my dealer today to see if I can manage to get them to look up the right parts for this thing so I can get a rough price idea. I've tried places like gmpartsdirect but when it comes to the dome light they're of no help cause everything is too "generic" in the diagrams and labels.

 

want a part number?

 

That would be of great help if it's for the light I'm looking for.

 

i cant stand the lack of dome light in the SS. the map lights on the rear view just dont cut it.


reminds me of a funny situation. the wife and i were haveing a discussion over whos car was better the cobalt or the redline...
and she brings up the lack of dome light thing, i say its because of the sunroof , then she precedes to point out that her redline has both front and rear dome lights despite having a sunroof...
i could only come back with ...well at lest my gauges are in the right place... fail on my part.

 

Any luck finding a part number yet?

 

Mine are really bright... Upgraded the bulbs with LED ones.. PM me for details if you want something like it

 

oh ya should be 22736100.... 22736099 is the ls modle with the single side

lol he needs the housing first

 

That is fricken fantastic, now the dealer won't look so confused when I ask them to get me this thing.

On another note, holy hell that's bright. Which LEDs did you buy for that?

 

hmmm. me thinks that mine is installed b ackwards.

 

I have leds for my 194 wedge bulbs on my rear view mirror for my cabin lights.

I have a 05 cobalt ss/sc

 

Alright, all my stuff came in, but now I need one more bit of info. The place where the plug would connect to the housing has four pins in it. Can anyone who has this version of the dome light check and see if you can see what color wire goes to what pin? I did some experimenting using the wiring that goes to the rear view mirror, but that plug only has three wires, so I couldn't figure out how to get everything to work right yet. The mirror's plug has a black, gray, and blue with white stripe wire. I suspect the dome light uses these same wires, plus one other, but I still need to know which pin each wire leads to.

 

if i remember there were only 2 wires to my dome light

 

whats nicer the coupe dome light housing or the sedan dome light housing?? I have a sun roof and im doing the mod from the other how to post and I ordered the sedan one and now im wondering if i shoulda got the other one or not??

so whats your opinons?

 

??? really depends on which one you got. The only 2 are the one with the 2 individual buttons in the back and the one with the big front one only. Coupe/sedan doesnt matter it came on diffrent trims. If the dome itself not cover was 10 bucks or so you got the single edition. the 27 dollar one is the 2 button. no idea on the price of the plastic thou so you have to factor that in too

 

I have absolutely no idea why sunroofed Cobalts and G5 have no dome light. My Z24 has it and there's tons of room back there, same with Sunfire GT/SE. Probably the only thing GM did right in the J as opposed to Cobalt.
