Default Interior Middle Overhead LED Change Out - Part# 3

Good evening, I have completed most of my interior LED lighting change outs. I wanted to share my experience with the forum. This thread is for the middle overhead LED's. You will need a very small flat head screwdriver and of course replacement LED lights. I purchased Yorkim T-10 / 194 lights on Amazon here-https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JRE38EA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They had great reviews and we will see how long they hold out. These game with 10 in the pack. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND STARTING WITH THE DOORS FIRST. This will give you a feel for the plastic on these vehicles. They were the easiest in my experience so far. I did not start with them, but looking back it will help. I will post that change out on another thread in a few minutes. I give this a 1 beer job rating. I am doing this on a 2013 model, my spot lights were already led. Here is what I did...

1) Open the windows and close the doors. Have the ked bulbs and the small flat head screwdriver in the truck. Have a paper towel or two. Have the beer in there as well.
2) You will need to gently pry down the plastic cover evenly near the tabs on the cover. They show up darker on pix 2, I posted several pictures of the cover to help.
3) Once the cover is off, simply replace them with the t-10 led lights. If they are still a little hot, use the paper towels. Test with everything disassembled. If the led does not light up, rotate it 180 degrees. I had to do this a few times.
4) Put the cover back on when finished.
They turned out great and they dim when shutting off like the regular ones. I will post some additional pictures when it is darker.
5) Enjoy.
