Default Cargo light bulb

The bulb is listed as a 561 sylvania, but I can't see how this bulb will work in the cargo light the way the clip is on the fixture, anyone have advice?

Thats the correct bulb. Once you pull the cover off you just have to push in one side of the metal clip that holds the bulb in and it should fall right out. Hope that kinda makes sense. Its kinda hard to explain.

There's no bulb in it. I'll shoot a picture, maybe it's the wrong light assembly.

Yeah, post a pic and I will be able to help out more. Night time plus a crappy cell phone camera dont make for a very good pic.

You can grab it with your fingers and pull it out. When you put in a new one hold it with a piece of tissue paper to keep oil from your fingers off. I'll go check the model number on mine. It's Sylvania 212-2 you've got there. Wrong picture on the website...
