As the title says:
Tools needed:
![Image]()
Left over LED's I used from my prior project.
![Image]()
Skill level: Depending how handy you are
Time: Take your time if this is your first. (roughly 3 minutes/light)
Please note: Do not add too much pressure when prying or removing these little plastic covers. You don't want to break any clips holding the clear covers to your lighting assembly.
I started with the center dome lights:

I Added some blue painters tape to prevent any scratches ( Wife will kill me)

Look closely for these two little mark where you are going to insert your small flathead to pry open the the cover.
This one is the passenger's side dome light.
Pry towards the cover. Use both sides to get it off equally.

You should now see the bulb.
![Image]()
Remove the bulb and replace it with your led bulb (194-SMD/5W)
![Image]()
Test it before you install the cover. Don't mind the blue-ish light due to the camera. (There is a little white button in there see prior pictures)
![Image]()
If it doesn't come on, play with your switch first ( on/off or door). If that doesn't work, reverse the polarity of the bulb.
Install the cover by going the reverse way of removal. Do not break this part or try to force it in (haha)
![Image]()
Make sure it's seated correctly. If not, the switch won't work. It will be stuck.

Re-install the cover in reverse by starting with the left side going in first then followed with the right. I used my hook tool the pull the left side down to install the cover. Take your time and do this. Don't break the left clip.
You should now look like it was never touched:
![Image]()
Now do the same with the driver's side by following the above steps.
After completion, you should now look like this:
![Image]()
I didn't replace the center bulb as I don't have the size of LED for it.
Here is how you remove it anyways.

Pry towards the plastic cover equally on both sides:

Once removed, this is what she looks like:

Pry on the side towards the plastic housing:

Unclip the harness and remove the assembly:
