Very easy. Make sure dome lights are off. (else they may get really hot to pull the stock bulbs. So turn on your reading lights (ones under the mirror) if your doing this at night.

Just reach behind the clear/smoked lens of the dome light (towards the windshield. You will then feel a little cut out in the middle of the lens on each one of them back there. Just pull down slowly from there. They will unclip on their own.

Pull out the stock bulb. Insert the LED bulb. Turn on the dome lights to test before closing the lens. If the bulb does not light up. Pull it out and turn it 180deg. so that you switch the pins from left to right. Try powering them up again.

LEDs are +/- sensitive. but it will not damage anything if you plug them in wrong. just won't light up.

Close the lens forward part first, then the part towards the windshield last. It should clip in on its own.
