There is a thread about this, Do a search. Read through the whole thing though as some have had mixed results with the install. Some have popped the plastic lens off and replaced the light. Others, like myself, found it difficult to get the bulb seated so some opt to remove the whole assembly. To remove it, after getting the screws out, there is also a tab that has to be pressed, hence why I say to read through the whole thread because you can break it if you are not careful.

Thanks for the info. I did find the other info you mentioned. I have all the replacement bulbs, was hoping it was an easy job. Thanks again!

It is easy. Unscrew the two bolts inside the sunglass holder. There are to tabs to depress inside there as well then firmly pull down on the whole assembly. Make it easier on yourself by removing the two wiring harnesses. Then you can push the bulbs out from behind and pop the two bulbs in. Reattach the two harnesses pop assembly back in and replace two bolts. Should be a 15 min job.

Thanks! Does the dome light come off easily as well?

I can't believe all of the interior lights aren't LED from the factory. What's up with that?

Thought I’d chime in since I was annoyed with the little to hardly any light in the interior. Didn’t pay attention when i bought the LED bulbs and now I have a blue interior. Haha! Changing that shlt out pronto.
