There are photos in this thread: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/diy-interior-lights-revised-622590/.

The 3G Service Dept./Garage has a long thread on replacing all the bulbs with LEDs: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/definitive-led-thread-all-youll-ever-need-know-about-leds-3g-garage-g-076-a-633045/.

Make sure you do not rip off that metal frame for the visors

I remember its a lot easier to replace the bulb for the license plate by removing the trunk inner cover than to pry out the plastic caps from the outside. I broke one of the tabs while doing mine years ago when attempting to pry out the plastic caps.

Alright I suck at this.
The dang plastic cap would not come the f*** out.
On visor and trunk. I can get my screw driving in between them but can't get it out.

One more thing on the fog light I got the cover off but how on earth do u unplug the plug?

Hahaha I'm sure you guys understand my frustration hahaha

Remove the trunk inner cover and release the plastic cover by pressing the 2 tabs together~

For fogs, there is a clip on the plug. Click it and pull the bulb out

Rest? Give me a second

Edit: Hold on, license plate OR trunk light???????????

If you trying to remove the trunk light....



Insert the screwdrive from the passenger (right side) and push it to the left
It will pop out
That plug is on the left side, so can't take it out from the left

Took me a second to remove it
