I can't remember what bulb number it is for those...
But it should either just pull out, or you'll have to push in and twist for it to come loose...

Alright, because I was twisting it normally and it didn't budge. Can't even get a good look at the way the bulb is in from the angle, but I gotta try again. And the dome lights are the same? Just pop them out?

What I did with the ones in the footwell, was to take all that plastic down and then actually took the housing down that holds the light. If I recall correctly you just have to pull it out. They are real stubburon though. Good luck.

The dome lights, you should be able to see once you get the lens off... Unless you mean the map/console lights, in which case, I can't help, because I don't have those, lol.
If the foot well bulbs are 168s then they just pull out... They SHOULD be in a 2nd gen... the 1st gen are the old school push & twist style...

yep the 168's are the same base as a 194, which is more common in LED bulbs. The maplights in the newer gen 2 trucks are easy, just need a 194 bulb pull the old one out and push the new one in and your good to go. Which now that I remember is the exact same way the floor courtesy lights are.

Yeah I was routing some wires under the plastic for my fuzz buster and iPod connector. So I just took down the plastic, then it was easier to see the bulb socket.
Oh and I have decided to order 4 HID White LED's for the maplights and then some new Blue LED's for the courtesy lights (the ones that come on when a door is opened). I'll post up some pics when I get them installed.

I need to post some pics too. I have 2 red LEDs under the dash, looks awesome, and white LEDs in both dome lights.
The maplights are annoying, you have to sand down the plastic a lot. It took me so long to do one bulb and I didn't even finish it, so I threw the old bulb back in and put it in the truck.
