XD License Lights Replacement

Has anyone replaced those dim yellowish lights with really BRIGHT LEDs?
What is the easiest way to replace them, and is there any DIY availabl to do it ? I looked ad mine (one is out) and did a quick assesment on what is needed, and I didn't want to start without first finding out if anyone has already done this, and what/how it was accomplished. The removal does not look that simple without removing the panel on the hatch with the emblem on it... :<(
Thanks !!

you probably have to remove the trunk liner in order to get to the license plate lights.

On my 09 altima 2.5, I have to remove about 6 fasteners in order to remove half of the trunk liner which reveals the license plate lights. I've replaced those yellowy OEM crappy bulbs with LED bulbs like these:



these are #168 bulbs which your xD uses as well.
