I figured i would create another Dome light install doc, cuz that last one was crap. BTW, how do i add this to DIY?
I didnt have a trim removal tool but i had my girlfriends cuticle plastic nail pusher thingy and it worked like a charm.
1.) I started with the clear plastic to pry off from the end closest to the windshield

2.) I did a little pry on all sides just out of paranoia for flexing or cracking the plastic

3.) Next i took the peice off here which was a little easier.

4.) This peice was the hardest since you couldnt just pull the bulb out with this installed. I had to use a little force but use it smart in all the sides because i did have a little flex coloration in the corner but hardly noticable.

5.) Now you can pull out the bulb and install whichever you'd like. If your hands are sweaty itll be a bit tough but i used latex gloves for grip.

6.) Voila! You have now installed your new bulbs

1.) Heres also the back dome light which was super easy just take off the plastic peice and swap. I forgot to take the picture of me taking it off but you should be able to figure it out.

Update:
I currently have these LED bulbs:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ls_o00_s00_i00
They stay on very dimly if you have the middle button (doors open) pressed. but they are really nice and bright with a good color in the car. The first ones i had in there looked nice, but they werent as bright as the stock bulbs.
