Lighting DIY for dome/map lights.

I just purchased some leds to replace the bulbs for the license plate, map light, dome light, and the lights that are under the doors. I don’t have a clue how to change the dome and map lights I think I can figure out the door lights and the license plate light that’s just easy. Dose any one happen to have or can make a DIY on how to change the dome/map lights. Thanks

grab a butter knife, slide it inbetween the map light housing and the cover piece. gently pry it off. voila! rinse and repeat.

So the button that you push in to turn on the light comes out?

there is no "button" per se. you press in the actual cover of the light. this is the piece that you need to take off to get to the light beneath.

I know right. I was actually surprised at how easy they just "popped" out.
