How to replace dome lights?
I was trying to remove the front dome light cluster to replace the lights with led's up there and I removed the 2 screws and it came down but it still really tight towards the back of the cluster. I heard there are clips but I am trying to find them and don't want break anything or crack the cluster tugging on it. Anyone have pics or a video? Thanks!

Yes, two clips towards to back of the dome light (back being the area farthest from the windshield for clarification.) You have to pull down with a some amount of force to get the clips to come undone. On mine, one of them came out of the dome light assembly when I pulled it down and I had to use pliers to get it out of the ceiling. This partially broke the clip but it was still usable. I believe on one of the LED guides that Brocious posted it has a picture of this whole process.
Once you've removed the two black screws that were hidden in the sunglasses holder, just pull down and towards the rear of the car. It's tight and I was scared to pull it down but I didn't break anything. It's actually not tabs but some circular thing that holds it in place. Don't worry as they won't break.
