Default changing dome light LEDs? Helpp

I ordere the LED replacements from Nigel. Got them yesterday. They are harder to put in then I thought.
The little plastic cover comes off right away. I am pretty much stuck from there. I even undid the screws in the sunglass holder but am not sure which way to pull that off.
I PMed nigel and he replied right away, great guy, but he wasn't even too familiar with how to replace these on the 3rd gen GS.
Thanks

I thought those LEDs are solder onto circuit boards.

It should work once you figure out how to remove the circuit board assembly and solder in the new LED. It almost not worth it if you ask me.

i would agree it would not be worth it. part of the reason I bought the LEDs from nigel is because of "how quick and easy they are to instal". maybe they will work for the trunk or door

You might want to install a LED panel in the trunk, I had it in mine and its much brighter. There is a few thread in here about that install.
