I know on the overhead by the rear view mirror you just pull it off. I was driving one day, curious how it came off, so I pulled and off it came.
As an aside, having the LEDs in the doors is a great idea. The stock ones aren't bright enough to do anything.

Mine got LEDs in gauge cluster, dome light, and door light.
I bought them from http://www.v-leds.com/ fast shipping and good quality so far.

On a side note, get led's from Art (go90go). I got a few from him for reasonable price and they are bright as hell. My friend was jealous and he got a couple for his BMW too...

Then you need to be very careful taking out that piece of the dash because it is very fragile and will break. I broke one over the winter and it was so hard to find one.

Those were free, haha. Take out the little film and it'll be better. Mine are actually a little too blue for my liking, too.
I grabbed one from a different batch for your one corner, but I'll swap it next time.
