Search button is your friend.

You can't change the license plate light out easily.. it's soldered into a circuit board. Just leave it.

The puddle lights are a simple swap. Un-snap the mirror from white bracket from the bottom up. Unscrew a phillips head screw on all 4 corners. The two mirror housings come apart and the bulb is exposed. Swap. Put it back together. Careful when popping the mirror back on the bracket as not to overflex and break it.

Read the posts above.....

I swapped all my bulbs to LED last weekend and it was easy.

I would recommend a set of trim removal tools to avoid any damage or a VERY well wrapped flat head screwdriver.

On YouTube, search for a video by Precision LED titled something along the lines of "is250 led upgrade" and it shows you step by step how to remove the wing mirror caps and any other bulb that you may wish to swap to led.
