The lens on the door just pops off with your fingers..grab the underside and it pops right out. The vanity lights plastic lenses pop right off with a small jewelers style flat head...easy...all of my lights are LED including two 36 LED panels up front dome and one 36 LED panel in rear. Tee posted pics of his setup like this with good pictures..search on the first or second page

Also..if you want white LEDs in the footwells, simply take off the yellow cover of those..the LED is actually super bright white..the rear "floor mat" lights require some extra effort to remove the yellow cover on those LEDs which are below the front seatbacks

If you want the rear footwell lights changed you have to stick your hand under the seat and pull the plastic cuff that's wrapped around the bar off ,it's just fitted around the bar that will allow you to lift that carpet piece up , and under that are two screws one on each side of the rear of the seat,unscrew those two screws once they are out grab the bottom sides of the back of the seats and pull toward you, and then lift the the whole back piece up and that whole back seat cover will come off, find the light which is attached by one screw , unscrew it and detach the plastic bulb holder , take the orange plastic cover off,and Voila! Put everything back the way you took it off should take you 10 -15 mins on each seat , Me and a friend did all my interior lights and the side mirrors yesterday and all I have left are the vanity lights which are even easier because they look like little fuses that snap right in , Sorry no pics but believe me it's like night and day!!!!!!!Thanks SBLexus

Glad you were able to figure it out..i'm sure you probably realize that you will need to leave that plastic cage looking thing that goes around the bulb off so you can get a bigger LED bulb in there. No worries, it can be left out with no problem. Enjoy the LEDs!

I removed the two screws. How hard do you pull the back side of the seat?
Either I worry pulling too hard or I am pulling the wrong part.
Anyone have pictures? Thanks.

Once you have the screws out pull down on the seat back and it should slide down and out.
