Here is the simple procedure:
- Using a credit card or medium sized flathead screwdriver, gently pry out the map light cover from the back (away from the windshield).
- Once the main cover is off, use a T-15 (Torx) screwdriver to remove two screws from the molding. Gently, pry the the plastic mold out using a flat head screw drive. There is a power cord attached on the right side of the molding (you won't see it until you start to take the molding out).
- Once the power cord is removed, the molding should come right out. You will see the two light bulbs. Gently twist the plastic base of the bulbs and they should come right out. Save these lights just in case your LED lights do not work.
- Insert your new LED lights with the twist lock bases in the same spots where the light bulbs came out.
- Reconnect the power and test the LEDs to make sure they come on (open your door or hit the switch to turn them on). If they DO NOT light up (polarity mismatch), you may need to take the lights out, turn them 180 degrees and twist them back in place. Test to make sure the LEDs work.
- Gently put the mold back in place (you should see how the moding will line up with the hole.
- Screw back in the two screws you took out.
- Gently pop back in the clear plastic light cover that you removed from step 1.
If I have time this week, I will take photos for each step.
