Difficulty = (2)
Tools = Flat head Screw Driver, Hex wrench/screwdriver, LED #194 Bulbs
Cost = $25 +- the type of Bulbs and where you got em.
O Factor = (7) It's an easy mod for tons of light or color accenting.

Map and Door lights are bulb #194
I suggest getting the 4Led bulbs as any much bigger will NOT fit in the Map lights. Color is up to you.
Front Map Lights
Start by Removing the Hex Screws in Sunglass holder
Using a butter knife or Flathead screwdriver pry the Left Side down enough to get a finger to pull down... You gotta use the knife to push in the Clip on the side, and pull the unit down... Same thing on Passenger side. 2 Clips
Unplug the unit for easier access to the bulbs
Twist the bulbs and pull out gently. Put LED's in and be sure to TEST THEM before you put it all back together. If they do not work, switch the way you put them in, as they have a + and -.
Put the unit back in and don't forget the hex screws.
Back seats are almost exactly the same, but without the sunglass holder hex screws.
Use the knife to get to the clips, push in and pull down.
Replace the exact same way, testing them before you put it back up.
The Door Lights just Pull straight out, the lens cover does too. Pull the old bulb out, and replace with your LED bulb. You can get larger LEDs (more) becasue there is little clearance issues.
Enjoy!
