    If you have a dome light i believe it's the DE3022 size, map lights are the 168.

    It's not the lense covers that come off its the entire piece above the mirror. under the lights you will see a little i think its rectangular tab. pry it off with a flathead then pull the entire piece off. hope that helps

    put your finger in the hole where the rectangular part was then just pull that entire piece off, might have to force it a little bit

    ok so I got a 48 led blue dome light and installed it with no problem.I am glad I went with the blue,in a black sand pearl taco it looks way better.
    now is it normal for the led to take a few more seconds to turn off,like maybe 1 or 2 seconds longer.I got the led on ebay ,a few others on TW got it from the same place.works fine so far--- working on pics.

    yeah that is normal, LED's turn on and turn on differently than normal bulbs do. My LED's dont even turn on unless the key is in the ignition because the battery doesnt provide them with enough power

    I am so glad that I went with the blue instead of the red,it's a four banger and I can't decide if I should get the 2 or 3 inch lift.I don't get off road much except to run the 4x4.the girl friend says do it,but is it a waste of money,I don't what to fall under the "Fall Guy" image.that was a 70's Lee Major show.
