I dont have any pictures right now but all you have to do is pull the bottom part of the plastic. It will pop and you can slowly take it out. After it comes out you can take off the cover by unclipping 4 corners.
Dome:



Stick a thin object into the gap and pull it down slowly... After you hear a pop... try to unclip 4 corners and the lid will come off...
License:
When you look under... you can find a clip... and just unclip it... When you pull them out... just turn the circle part and it will come out... (I hope you get that....)
Low Beams:
Look at DIY i think some one post one...
Trunk:
I havent tried so... Ill keep you updated...

When your doing this... please me caution!!!! You dont want to break anything...

^^^ Totally agree,

It is really really really easy. Pretty much everything just "pops" in and out. Kinda scarey when you think about it.

trunk is the easiest one of all - you just pull down on one side of the casing (forget which side, but its easy enough to figure out) and replace bulb. The end. Takes all of 14 seconds.

fyi, you might want to use a cloth to grab the bulb, because its going to be hot...

LED doesnt get hot at all. So you dont have to worry about buring anything.

I got my dome lights from motoringmax. The only thing i dont like is at night, with the doors closed, they still produce a tiny bit of light. Not a lot. Just a little bit like ambient light.

JC562,
Hurry up. I just got my new HID bulbs and 8K foglights. I wanna install them STAT. Oh yeah, BTW, dont forget, a good DIY has very nice detailed pictures.
Thanks.
