Replacing Interior dome and door lights

So I ordered some blue LEDs for the dome lights and the side door lights (forgot the name..too early) and I've read the service manual but still abit confused and nervous about popping open the light. Is there a way or place to place that flathead or insert it just anywhere and pop it (for both the dome and the door). I read the one for the license plate and that looks pretty straight forward. *crosses fingers* So plz help me out ^^ thnx

I was scared at first when I replaced my lights, and I used a kitchen knife! LOL (dont ask).
Just be a little aggressive and it will be easy, don't baby it or you might break someting.

There is a DIY in the DIY section check it .

It's very easy, gently pry the lens off with a pocket knife or small flat blade screwdriver. If youre real parinoid put some tape down on the leverage point so you won't be able to scratch anything. But thats probably overkill.
