I'm not sure if you meant removing the housings or the lights from the sockets.

But to get the housings off, the map light is kind of weird, but not hard to remove. You lightly push the plastic up and twist your fingers in a circular motion. They should just come right out.

The dome light I believe I took a flat head screwdriver and got underneath it. But do this gently. It shouldn't take much. If you don't have a flat head laying around, a thin wedge or something thin and relatively flat can be used to separate the outside housing to get it off.

My cousin had a account on ebay so I let him use my card to get some leds for my dad's truck and this happened? My cousin still feel bad about that the card got hacked but I told him it alright I blocked it so can't be use. I will look at superbrightleds.

I'd get a paypal account too. Then the unknown sites don't actually get your information.
