Fantastic! Maybe now I'll finally do some of the bulb changes. Thank you for all the details. 
Need to stick this in the FAQ.

part 2
for the dome lights it easier. for the front dome light there are screws hidden in the sunglass holder
after you take out the 2 screws there are 2 plastic fasteners that hold the rest in. you can pull those out
there are 3 bulbs(194) they will twist out
finished product..you dont see it here but bc the led's are so close to the lens you will actully see 3 bright dots of light within the lens..maybe not if you get refracted led's

part3
the rear dome light is easy just use a special tool called a "credit card" or something like it, and pop off the lens. you will see two bulbs inside. They are called double ended or festoon bulbs or DE3175, 31millimeter(length) bulbs
finished
The LENS in the side doors are red OEM. the new ES350 has clear ones so i bought two of them to swap. THE PART # FOR THEM IS 81230-47010.
1st part of housing
2nd part of housing..it snaps on top of first part.

Omg sticky! finally someone changing the outside lights. I been tryin figure out how to do it. Thanks alot 
edit: damn the screws are pretty tough to get to for those puddle lamps. I feel like I might break it if I push anymore, how did you get to all those screws? did you strain the mirror?
