Default LED installation

So I finally found some time to change out the daytime running/parking lights and I have to say that they look a hell of a lot better.
It is still a bit bright right now as it is only noon, so I will snap some evening pics. I attached a pic to show the difference between stock and the LEd, though it isn't at its brightest right now, lol. Just though some of you who haven't done this yet might be interested in seeing it.

I was able to get LEDs on the license plate and the interior light between the front and back passenger seats, but I still cannot pop open the fron maplight between the windshield and fronts. I am also having a bit of trouble with the running board lights. I found the connections, just cannot pluck them off at all!

Default removing lights

the map lights in the overhead pop out using a pry device. On the map light you push upwards to turn them on. When you do that you will see they pivot/turn at the other end. Insert a screw driver at this end where they pivot and gently pull then down. They come very easily. The running board lights turn clockwise and counterclockwase to realese or tighten.
