Should be 4 black 10mm bolts that hold the plastic shell onto the metal frame, you should see them inside the sunglasses holder areas. Take those bolts off and then while supporting the console slide it forward, it should drop down and be free from the roof, disconnect the wiring harness, a single 3 pin plug. Take it out of the vehicle and start removing screws from the top. I forget how many there are, 10 maybe 12? and tart replacing blubs! If you use LED's test that you got the polarity right before you reinstall the console in the truck!

Oh I forgot there will also be a ground wire you’ll have to disconnect, it’s connected to the three wire connector but held on with a Phillips screw to the black metal frame.

Yes there are, I just asked this question the other day, the factory bulb is a 906. I saw some that said 921 leds were replacements for quite a few of the 900-910 or whatever it said.

But you'll have to be conscious of the measurements of the new leds, because I believe some will cause interference issues.

Also be VERY careful with removing the light connectors and anything in there really, everything is crispy and fragile from the incandescent bulbs being so hot.
