Question Changing INTERIOR LIGHTS TO XENON LED DOME BULBS ?

I plan on changing the interior bulbs. My question is what are the bulb sizes that I need for the front and the rear ? Also how do I install these ? I heard there is a tool you need to pry the light cover in the front down in order to replace the bulbs. What about the rear ? Do anyone have any DIY instructions with pictures with the things that I need to do ? Thanks

For the dome lights on the front, there's a small opening facing the windshield. You can use a flat head to pry that open, but don't force it. If you pull it gently enough, it'll open up. That opens up the light cover, and it'll reveal the dome light. From there, you'll see two white notches (I think they're white). Pull those two notches toward the windshield, and while you're doing that, it'll pull down the entire light thingie-ma-bob (I don't know what you wanna call it) and it'll reveal two little knobs on each side. Those little knobs are what the map lights are kept in. twist it and pull it out and you're taking out the wedge bulb. I'll post pics later if you have any trouble with anything.
