    I did mine before the campaign and it wasn't too hard. Buy a new light from a dealer or wherever. I didn't remove the headliner. I just removed the hooks and sort of pealed it back enough to get a hand in there. It's a bit of tight fit, but not impossible. I don't recall exactly what tool I used but I think a socket on an extension might have been the trick. I think I had to order the gasket separately, but I don't recall. Install snug but not over-tight as I think that was the reason they failed in the first place. Mine had one of the bolts partially broken away.
