I think you mean the front door sill lights. They are at the bottom of the front doors and they just pop out..

Yep, just a flat screw driver. On sylvania, I think it's called a courtesy light.

open your driver door and look underneath it. Just follow the light.

WOW, I never knew this light existed. I park my car in a lighted garage, and with Daylight savings time and it gets dark late, never noticed the light before! I think if the light was a lot more Powerful, Brighter, it might have stood out more.. Also, my lights are on AUTO, so when I stop my car at night and get out, the inside lights and headlights stay on... I can see how it would be easy to miss these lights! Has anyone ever replaced them with a LED or ???

I replaced mine with LEDs. In the doors, license plate, reverse, interior, trunk, doors. Makes a big difference, looks a hundred times better!

I saw a post a while back for the LED's for the license plate. Are all these bulbs the same 12 volt part? And if they are can you tell me the part numbers and where you got yours?

Check out my thread in the Photography forum. I replaced the License Plate, Door/Courtesy Lights, and now have the reverse lights on the way from Hong Kong.

You have to scroll down to post #27 for the door pics.

Just look at the Sylvania site that someone attached previosly and you'll know what to order. I did the Courtesy lights and the Liscense plate lights. Didn't bother with the trunk, but that's me.
