Basically you just find a thin card like old credit card of some card you never use anymore and then find a small opening in the light cover. It just pops off after that.

does it matter what end you try to pry the cover off? i mean towards the rear or front of the car?

also did you change out the lights that come on under your side mirrors?

There should be an easier place to insert the card.. it should be thin and strong if possible because I know the one I used brook. But look really close to see if you can find a spot that would be better place to insert the card. The side mirrors are called puddle lamps and no that is the only lights I haven't changed. But if you go to those links I posted a user named Chikken posted a thread on how to change puddle lamps. Go through the links I posted above first and if you can't find it then go directly yo Chikkens page and you can see all of his threads. He has one that give you pictures and everything on how to change the puddle lamps. It is a little difficult. But the interior light are easy. If you still need help let me know.

how the heck do you get those clips out for the reverse bulbs, damn i cant get them off and i almost broke them trying, i dont want to have to go to dealer and buy new clips for like $10 a piece.

wedge based bulbs that are amber 21 watt. Try here: http://www.lightlens.com/coloredbulbs.htm

as far as removing the clips I used a very tiny instrument almost like a screw driver to repair glasses. Try that if that isn't right let me know.
