A small screwdriver to lever down the front of the clear map light cover and it pulls straight out.
The bulbs are a T10 wedge and will just pull out.

2 minor problems: Can't figure out how to remove the bulbs from the map lights? In post #7 of this thread, he says "push in and turn". Not working for me.
And the double sided 3M tape for the LED pad didn't work. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't remove the plastic sheet to reveal the sticky stuff. (Old 3M tape?)
Anyway here are the before and after says it all. No trick photography:

That is impressive, thanks for the comparison photos, I need to get the 48 LED light in the back as well.

The light in those photos look quite blue, you can use "warm" LEDs which give a more natural light. I used then for my conversion and its hard to tell that they are LEDsLast edited by krypto; 29-05-2013, 01:33 AM.[B]Steve[/B]

Personally I prefer the cool white to the warm tint.
I've got a very bright led flashlight with a warm tint, keeps colours more realistic, but I always find myself going back to my cool white flashlights.

Well I guess I am different. I had no trouble with the map lights, door lights but the centre is a different story. Can not get that one out no matter which way I go.
How did you pop the lens on that one?
