First locate the notch in the lens next to the off/door/on switch. I used a small pick to pry the it down.





Next its a good idea to lower the panel and change the bulbs, it can be done by doing one at a time but its much faster to lower the panel. There are two bolts next to the bulbs and a screw inside the flip down.





Once all three are changed (or one) then you must re-install the panel for the lights to be grounded properly and turn on and re-install the lens.





Now the center light can be done. Find the notch in the lens next to the switch and pry it down like the other one.



This light panel has two screws that can be removed to lower the panel for easy bulb change.



Once changed just reverse the process and turn on all of the lights to make sure that they are working properly. If one doesn't work then rotate it 180 degrees and it should. Now enjoy your new lights.

 

What bulbs did you use? I always wanted to change mine like that.

 

I used these, and had some left since I haven't changed the tag lights out yet.

I've had these same ones in for over a year and they have not failed yet fwiw.

 

Thats good to know. I was wondering how long they would last.

 

Yeah. They look much better than stock.. I have rear license plate ones and parking lights from a different vendor on ebay (don't recall who).. they were a different story - one of the parking lights was DOA, and the replacement they provided now flickers - the license plate led's, one burnt out in under 6 months : (

Lesson: some vendors on ebay sell crappy LEDs lol.
But these ones listed above haven't failed yet!

 

Looks good buddy.
