Dome/map light LEDs installed

I installed my dome /map light LEDs today, got them from HERE ... saw a Youtube video that showed the whole dome lamp assembly removed from the car and I originally thought I'd have to do that, but then realized that all I need to do is remove the lenses and voila! I'd have access to the old bulbs and have room to installed the new LEDs

So, I started by using a small flat-head screwdriver, to remove the lenses by gently prying at each of the smaller tabs on the lenses:

Then had great access to the bulbs.
I used the same small screwdriver to pry out the old bulbs, since my sausage fingers weren't fitting in there very well, to remove the old bulbs:

Speaking of interior lights, you might check out the threads on adding one or two LED light strips in the trunk.

I added two small strips of white lights to the upper frame, just ahead of the trunk opening (on the angled surface), and wired them into the stock trunk light. One of the most helpful mods I've done to a car!
