Check your owners manual. It tells you all the basics.

yeah, look in the manual tells you exactly how to change, look in the DIY section. The bulbs are T-6

use something thin, i use a lil pocket knife. you see clips holding the covers, so just pry them off. make sure you put something on the knife, like a towel or something, so you dont scratch anything. then the bulbs just pops off

I've use PIAA's xtreme white, at first it look very odd, took while to get use to them.

When you put the cover lens back? be sure to push it all the way in, until it clicks.

I have some new T-6 bulbs from japan that have 4 or 6 leds each!! I got them for $24 in San Diego. They are pretty bright I'll post pics if anyone wants any with the stock bulb next to the leds.

I was debating between the LED and the Xtreme White, pics would definately help! You paid $24 for the pair? Thats a good price!

I paid $24 for one bulb so total was $48. I know that's alot for some dome bulbs, but I couldn't resist the look of them and the brightness. I'll post pics tomorrow of the bulb next to the stock one. I'll try to do some of the interior at night with the stock bulbs then the leds.
