after you remove the 2 screws, the rest of the piece is held in by 2 fasteners that are positioned closest to the moonroof. I just pulled on the unit a bit and it came loose.

Good Luck.

I believe you pull towards the windshield but I haven't done it personally.

you can find the LED Dome lights at http://stores.ebay.com/MotoringMax.

I am about to order mine too, just got the HID kit for my foglight from this guy, super fast shipping.

i put the high power LEDs in my car, they are like 25% brighter than regular LEDs...only 1 drawback to using LEDs instead of regular bulbs - there is a stepping effect when it dims...you never really notice it unless you're looking right at the light and no one ever really does that though so it's all good
