Question Interior light install?

Hey guys, i see that most of you have cool interior lighting but I am having trouble trying to figure out how to get the bulbs out. I am trying to replace the the dome light the Map lights and the rear dome light with some white LEDs but i do not know how to install them. Any help would be appreciated THANKS! OH and in addition do the interior LEDs need to have canbus or error free? any type of resistors???

there is plently of thread here about what to get where from and all that you could use the search option on top of this window and search for "clk led" and get lots and lots of threads.

In the meantime let me dig some threads for you and ill update

No need for resistors in the interior lighting and the door-puddle lights.

Good luck and show us some pic of your 350

There is a little opening on the dome light ( main one ) Use a plastic tool or a credit card to open it.

You can open the whole dome unit with two little plastic pins on the inside. Push them in and it should come off.

No problem man...clkboi has it spot on on how to do the front dome lights...I took a towel and put it over a screw driver and then slipped it in by the front dome...there are two clips...catch those and it'll pop right down...then unscrew both lights on either side...

And photos of the car?...lol...
