Default Door handle led

Now I've searched, but have only found the thread about installing a new door handle in a GS, so if I missed it I apologize.

I've replaced all my interior door lights to Led, pulled off the orange plugs under the dash, and am waiting for my Nike lights, reverse lights, and interior led boards to come in.

But then I noticed my interior door handles and their yellow glow taunting me. Do I need to pull off the door panel to get to these or does the handle just unclip? How did you guys do it? Or did you?

If I recall you have to take apart the interior door to get to them, and I thought to myself...... it's not that serious I can live with them.

I'm sure your going to have to take the door panel off to access the bulb. Once you find out the bulb to use to replace the factory yellow bulb, please be sure to update this thread with the size.

I think if it involves removing the door panel, I'll just leave it. The last thing I feel like doing at this point is pulling off door panels to replace an LED. I just know it will never go back on the same way..

One time I had to get the door panel off my Infiniti Q45a. Even though I was able to download a schematic of the door, I didn't feel comfortable doing it, plus it required a special tool. I went to a good auto body shop I know and on his day off a guy who does this all the time came over to my house and did for $50.
