Once you have the trim panel out, remove the hvac knobs. Next you'll see 4 clips (2 on the top, 2 on the bottom). Gently pry each one and remove that piece. This will expose the bulbs. Then you can swap 'em out.

Here's the finished result. I did mine with blue led's. I'm planning on upgrading the stereo soon so I didn't bother doing that .

My problem is I can't get the bulbs out. How do they pop out? Do I just pull them straight out, or do I need to turn them? Also, did you do it with the LEDs from Radio Shack or from LEDTronics?
Thanks!
Chris

I just pulled them straight out. I used the ledtronics bulbs. If you use the condom colors the final color is more of a aqua then blue...
