First you will have to take off the carpet covering by removing the little black clips. I took off the front clips around the bottom of the trunk. Then just reach in and twist the bulb housing and should just pop out. I used a 194 white LED and looks real clean...like the 2006 GS. Pep Boys had them in a pair for about $5.00.

yeah, as long its 194 bulb you can use it. the LED's look much better in my opinion. if you do go with the hyper white...get the Polarg M4. any 194 bulb will fit though

I used a small open-end wrench to get underneath the clip and work them out. Its very simple, just take your time so not to break any of the clips.
