I just got the LED Interior Light Set (not talking about the footwell or map light sets, even tho i got those too :-P) but they didn't come with any instructions...

Anyone done this installation already and know how to disassemble the door light pod off and where this third fuse looking LED bulb set goes?

The door cover pops off with a flat screwdriver. be careful, without the cover the bulb holder can easily be pushed in to the door cavity.

the fuse looking LED is the dome light

I've had this happen. It'll be a bit tricky but what you need to do is pop out the bottom corner of the door (closest to the bulb) Just give it a tug, should pop out.

Then either with some needle nose pliers, try and grab the wires and pull it back up.

yeah, there shoudl be a plastic tab that just comes out. don't pull too hard, you might start loosening other clips that you don't want loose right now.

Thanks for all the help guys...it went without a hitch.

I really didn't have any problem pulling the bulbs out...just gotta make sure they haven't been on too long or you'll burn ur fingers...
