The service manual says to just pry it out carefully. Here is a scan (right sideof the page) which will help you see where the clips are.

I got my blue LEDs here on EBAY. It's a complete set for the TL, and the price seems reasonable. He also has 6 LED bulbs for less. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=7943091858

Yeah i guess that seems pretty reasonable. Unless you only want your lights for the two doors and maybe one dome, otherwise your paying way too much.
I think i might get the hyper white for the domes, because i dont know how the car would look with all blue

36 bucks for all your lights?? the dome lights wouldn't look good with the blue in them...i think the side doors would and the center console would....... i think they would look hella nice...but its not worth 36 bucks...

I'm not sure of the bulb type, but the doors and map/dome lights are all the same.

i didn read any of the other replies but i will tell you the way I did both my map lights and my courtesy light...
i took a piece of electrical tape, slid it behind and around the lights, they stuck to the lights, and then i held onto the tape (and not the light) and wiggled using the tape.
this way you arent pinching the lights and you have some leverage with the tape.
