I want to change my dome lights to leds.
I heard theres 2 tabs to push in to bring it down, are they towards the front of the car or the back?
How do you push them in?
Any instructions would be great

I'm just trying to get that thing down and change the bulbs without a hastle and I want to do it right.
Sorry if this is a newb question.
Just want it done right.

just take a screwdriver and from the back or rear of the car push forward and the whole black plastic piece containing the lights will slide out...

what bulbs are for the dome lights??? those are the only ones i need to change to have my interiors all blue...

Tabs are on the side that face the back of the car. 2 flat head screwdrivers would be most helpful.

I just replaced my dome light bulbs...First you must remove the plastic housing by undoing with a screwdriver on the front side (closest to you not the window) and theres two things holding it on, just pry those out of there and slide it towards you. Once this is done itll just be hanging there by the wire (the entire domelight assembly) then you must use a small Torque star to undo all of the 5 screws I beleive that hold it in, then you can remove the clear plastic or the cover and change out the bulbs...be careful though, i guessed on how to take out the assembly and ended up with a screwdriver driving into my hand and cut it really bad...but now that you know what to do it should be ALOT easier lol. Once you get those out you can do w/e you want but be careful i had a hard time prying those festoon bulbs out of the light sockets....maybe i didnt do something right but I got my blue lights in and they look pretty:)
