Thanks Printerman.

Did you get the white 31mm ones? What is the advantage to having the LED's? Do they look better?

Printerman..... just pull the aft edge of the whole assembly down and it snaps out of the headliner. It pulls straigt away and hinges at the front edge and then the whole assembly pulls out. Very simple. I was looking at it and pulled it down while driving and then put it back up. Put the front edge up first and then snap the aft edge back up into the headliner to reinstall. When it's out, the lights are easily changed out of the assembly.

Hi ruchuck:

I put the Led's in today....They are a bit hard to put in. They are a bit bigger than the OEM bulbs...

They work great and are a very bright white....I have the 6 Led units.....It took about 20 min to put them all in so it's not a big deal to put them in....
