Anybody know how to remove the door paneling?
So I changed the courtesy light on the door to a ultra white LED array and REALLY liked it a lot. So I start doing the passenger door and ARGH! s I was pusing the bulb into the socket, the entire socket unit came unstuck from the door itself and fell inside! I know I am gonna have to take some screws off to get inside and be able to fix it back into place, but I was wondering if anybody else has gone through it yet? Save me some time. If not tomorrow I'll make sure to take some pics if I can find the damn camera.
Word to the wise. Be careful when changing the bulbs on the door :D

I'll put some pics up tomorrow night. I got several different 194 bulbs off ebay. One is a 4 LED light (thats the unit I am using now for the doors and the trunk since the plastic covers are diffuse and belnd the light very well)) as well as some regular Xenon bulbs. Had originally put LED lights in the front driving light holders as well, but they dont light up to well since they ARE LEDS and only send light forward. Hardly uses the reflector cup. With the regular Xenon bulbs it looks MUCH better IMHO. Also put a xenon bulb for the license plate. I am going to end up changing all the interior lights to Xenon. I really prefer the blue/white light inside the car rather than the yellowish hue of the original bulbs. I really hope it isnt going to be too much of a pain to get the other door light back in place.
Anyway, the 4 LED lights I got from here:

And the xenon bulbs I got from here:
