okay, just got in from basically drowning myself sweating in this 100+ degree heat, changed out the mirror lights and the rear dome light. took a while on the first mirror light becuase i didn't want to break anything, but after i finished one side, i knocked out the other side in like 5 minutes. looks good. i put in the 5 led refractors in the side mirror, looks bright enough for me, i put the car in the garage and shut it and it looked pretty good, the originals are of course alot brighter but the leds are good, they shine on the ground and such so its good enough for me. the rear dome like were the v-led.com ones i got on ebay, they are really bright and when i locked the car and walked up to the car with the key fob, the cars interior looks nice, i love it!!! i haven't gotten the other leds i ordered on ebay yet so the trunk and the front dome lights will be done soon.

i was trying to get the clear part out and not the bezel too... such a moron.
Almost complete, I just can't figure out the front dome lights.... I took the screws out, and now the front portion (closest to windshield) is loose and falling down, but there seems to be 2 clips that are sticking forward and not letting me pull the whole set down. How do I get the back portion to fall down like in the picture? Am I suppose to remove the whole thing? Where are the tabs at?

Try to put it in with the festoon LED you used for the back dome light and see if it works.
