I've been searching the posts but could not find a DIY on how to change the bulbs: side mirror courtesy lights, interior lights - map lights and dome lights (never mind the floor, door and trunk - they are a no brainer as u can see easily where to pry them out). The other ones I've mentioned are not that obvious. I'm afraid to break or crack the assemblies if I do a hit or miss. Can you guys post your DIYs (preferably with pictures) on this please? Thanks!

Not much to say, they all pop. However, did anybody trying to do this nifty mod tried to see how poor the LED light is at night, compared to the old bulbs? You might as well call it "cool looking lamp" instead of "reading lamp". Anyway, I suggest you keep the old bulbs around, after you change them.

Looks cool, not that bright :(
After changing all my interior lights to LEDs.....I kinda agree with some of you that they're really not bright
I used high intensity LEDs, not the cheap ones and still they look kinda dim..? Seriously, I'm happy with the change in look and will stay with them for a while. I just wish the LEDs lifespan will be longer than the ordinary bulbs so that all these upgrades will have a sense and will mean something other than aesthetic purposes!
