I'm working on the small problem today on a town car. I was able to pry off the cover with a small screwdriver, but the small area and small bulb doesn't allow you to pull out the small bulb.

Was anyone able to answer the question for him? I have never touched the ones in my car for any type of bulb change.

And major props for showing the effort to scratch up an answer via older threads.

I haven't had reason to change any of those lights, so I can't help there. I can warn you that you actually need to disconnect the battery before you attempt it. I know of at least one where the vanity dimmer circuit was ruined by an accidental short by the slip of a screwdriver while prying the bulb out.

i changed the vanity lights on my 06 from ones from vled. i just used a small standard screw driver to pry the cover off pretty easy too. didnt care too much for the yellowed look of standard bulbs when all the rest of my interior was 5000k.

No luck with the attempt in changing the bulb. I've taken off the cover but there simply is no room in getting fingers in there to pull out the bulb. It looks like a mini-wedge bulb that should come out by pulling it from left to right.
Someone said the plastic surround is held in by two clips. I went around the edges with a small screwdriver but cannot find any clips.
So I'm giving up on the attempt before I break something and make things worse.
Thanks for the help and your kind replies.

P.S. Moving on to applying LED headlight strips......

so your doing strips instead of Angel Eyes. This will be interesting I've wondered what an LS would like with strips like an Audi has.
