Back seat lights
I'm trying to take out my back seat lights to put in my LED lights but they won't come out. I can't find a video on how to take them out. Please help

The ones above the seat? Stick a butter knife in between them and pry from side to side, they pop out quite easily.

I used a small flathead screwdriver and a microfiber cloth to prevent scratching the plastic.
But as Undying Dreams said get them from the hinge side, not the side that you push to turn it on.

Oh and DISCONNECT the battery!!
I didn't and ended up blowing the fuse to work my keyfob and interior lights.
Plug in all your LED's, if they don't light up, disconnect battery again and flip the LED's, then reconnect the battery.

Don't worry about disconnecting your battery to swap bulbs. IMO not needed and have never once blew a fuse. Just yank the bulb out its simple. I guess if you can't get it with your fingers just pry it out like others have said above.
It doesn't hurt to disconnect the battery, but it's too much work when you simply don't need to, or if you must just flip the switch at the front overhead console to off. Then if you disconnect the battery you gotta put in the radio and nav codes, and your trip odometer resets. Just turn the interior light switch to off if your worried about it and that's just as good.

flat head screwdriver in the middle slit and you should see it pop off. These were not hard to pull off but if you are replacing all your bulbs the best advice I received in the past was to use some scotch tape, wrap it around the bulb, and pull the tape and bulb. This made pulling all my bulbs a cinch. I replaced all my bulbs in my car including the trunk which I found to be a pain including the vanity bulbs for the mirrors.
