you need to go at it from the side I was also sketchey about how hard to pry you will see where it is atta shed after you remove the housing around the switches . you need to actually remove the outter cover around the whole light it goes around the switches for the sun roof to. do this first. as for the blubs they are different but cant rember the part #'s sorry if the screw driver comment was not clear the first time hope this helps.

I have a Dragger II and am actually looking for a nother used one so I can run dual exaust with monster tips. the exaust is not the loudest or the most hp but I got 7hp with the exaust. it will get louder as the exaust breaks in. At first I was pritty disipointed with it and after about a mounth and a half it was worth the wait. buy the way I also run a AEM intake you will hear a lot of people have problems with the CE light this is caused by Three things 1) not resetting the ECU (just disconnect the negative cable) 2) when you get it there is a lot of oil in the filter and this oil gets on the mass air flow sensor use a can of electrical componet cleaner and clean it. also you may need to do this more than once 2 or 3 time. 3) the air dam for the stock air box is left in place if you leave this in you will get the CE light also so gust leave it out.

Have fun with your car

good luck with the supercharger I am looking into going down to Toyomoto next year for there turbo hopefully a stage 2 but who knows that is a long ways away. If money is the issue for you on the supercharger then you may get lucky and TRD many have a supercharger they have been promising for over what 2 year I think may be not that long but it seems that way.

Well if you have any future questions hope I can help.
