How do I replace this interior light In my 2002 the bulb that lights up the power windows/mirror/lock buttons on the door panel has broken a fillament. How do I repace that? Do the wires seperate from the plastic bulb assembly (saw little metal tabs that the clip braces in there) or is it going to be a bigger pain in the *** then that? And also had to replace my turn signal bulbs because water had gotten in there and corroded the bulb end and crackled the orange coloring on the bulb. I put some coolant liquid gasket around the existing rubber gasket but do you guys think this will work or is there a better way to seal the blinker assembly up? Thanks in advance.

Anyone? It is a 2002 WS6 and it is the tiny light in the same plastic piece the door handle is in. I'd rather not go snooping and break a plastic piece. This is bugging the hell out of me.

I got the panel off and have it seperated and remove the little plastic piece that hooks into the interior trip panel. Does the bulb come out of the plastic part? And how did you replace with a LED? I would love to do that (would be brighter and last the life of the car)

Here are some pics for reference look at the first one closely and you can see the tabs I'm talking about. Do these need to be pushed out and I just buy a new plastic piece with the bulb in it or does the bulb come out of it somehow?? The second pic is the passenger side you can see what it looks like installed with that little red plate over it that changes the color of the light (right infron of the door handle).
