At the front of the assembly near the windshield, just work your fingers in there and kinda pull. Then do the same for the ends. It just clips in there, you can probably have it out, change the bulbs, and back in place in about 5 minutes. Kinda scary pulling it down the first time, take it easy and don't man handle it. That's how I got mine out, I believe there is a youtube video as well.

That's how I did it as well. Use the impression of where it was when you're putting it back up as to make sure all the clips are lined up! Good time to replace with LEDs if you wanna go that route!

Bulb sizes are 194 for the 2 in the front and 578 for the center dome.

Dang! I got mine off ebay (not gonna lie) and they were like 5 dollars for 10! You get what you pay for I suppose, but hey they are plenty bright for me!
