Popping lens off..

Maybe its just me being super cautious but once you pop out the courtesy door light, how do I pop the lense out to get the bulb without breaking anything.....?

One side at a time, one clip at a time. Use a really small flat-head screwdriver, wedge it in gently and work the plastic so it hangs on the clip, then do the other end of the same side, and it will pop off.

Might want to use a plastic knife or something of that nature to reduce the chance of scratching anything up.

If you plan on doing any LED replacement/interior mods, I suggest you invest in a 10 dollar trim removal kit. It makes everything so much easier when you go to remove panels, lights, and the push lock retainers.
