Front doors are easy, just use a soft pry tool (so you don't damage the light or surrounding pieces) and pry it off slowly.
Back dome light is easy too, if you look at it you'll see a little spot to put something in to pry the cover off. Just like the doors, be careful.
Front dome lights are a little more tricky, hopefully someone has pics or somethin but if i remember correctly you just open the sunglass holder area, take out the screws in there and then pull down on the unit (requires a bit of force, almost seems like it will break)

One thing I'd like to mention is the LEDs from sewell are polar sensitive, so if they don't work/light up then try reversing them. I had that issue with my doors and my dome light. Also I had a hard time putting in the front dome lights because of the type of LED i got sent.

happened to me too, the shell they gave you is two pieces that can come apart...I can't remember where in the forum I saw how it looked apart. When I get home from work I'll look for it. But the clear shell is two pieces that can be pulled apart, if you look there are tabs on the ends of it. Kinda squeeze and pull to get them off, then reverse the bulbs and you should be good.
The over head unit after you unscrew the two in the sunglass holder, There are tabs on the other end away from the windshield. I just yanked real hard on them and they came off.

I couldn't figure out where the 3rd one went. I got the light next to the "door" button and the one next to the "on off" button. Those were the only 2 visible lights I saw. So there is a third one? Where is it?
