Default Bulb change - filament to LED

Hello,
Im trying to change the interior light bulbs from the standard dull yellow fillament bulbs to white led bulbs.
I've done the interior roof lights but now need to change the door and footwell lights.
Can someone tell me how i can access the bulb in the door and also the bulb in the rear footwell.
Below is a photo of what i am talking about. The roof light is nice and white now but the two other lights are still yellow.

Thanks

You have to unscrew that entire b pillar interior trim. Going off memory there is a square plug towards the top.

Door panel pops off, it goes in from the backside.

I was given a couple of the LED's to try out by a friend who had loads for his BMW. I've just ordered a load more from ebay. They are just bog standard replacement bulbs.
I think to replace all of the interior bulbs you will need about 14 varying form festoon bulbs to side light bulbs.

MUD - i take it the whole door pannel just pops off and there are no screws etc to unscrew?
You would think the plastic light cover in the door and on the floor, would just pop out.

I just finished a 3 day breakdown and put back of the whole interior of my H2.True indeed the B-Pillars have a rectangular pop-off piece at the top you'll have to pop off and remove a screw before you actually pull it away from it's snaps. All of the doors you'll have to take off plate behind the door release handle( 1 screw ) and then remove 2 screws holding the panel to the door itself.After that just pull the door panel away from it's snaps.

Looks good.I wouldn't mind doing the L.E.D thing myself. Do you have an Ebay link.

use Fyreflys.com.

i did complete interior as well as MY DRL's so much better.

doors and wells i used 194

everything i used the 16 led universal.

looks amazing.

I just used the thinnest screw driver i could find and popped out the lenses, they entire job was less then an hour.
