Thank you. I used a stapler removal tool to unloosen the plastic covers. Mainly, any SLIM end tool or plastic card will work. Just take your time. Try not to pop of the assembly. Hold your finger on the end that does not house the plastic lens, if you can. Again, Take your time. I can only say this because this video helped give me the confidence and courage to pop off all the interior cabin lights in my 2019 Subaru Outback. Thank You video guy!
Thanks - I just could not figure out how to get the lens out, and didn't want to risk breaking it. I had taken out the center panel trim (sunroof controls between the two lenses) when I got stuck and looked for help. That helped replace the first lens that I took out - I kinda sorta inserted the lens cover from the center and it slid into place easier than trying to push the lens in from the side. You could have done it one handed. Then taking out the second lens was even easier tugging it to the center, than I'd found taking out the first one toward the rear of the car. So much happier with new LED bulbs!
Now that's a proper installation. But be careful, don't use aftermarket LED for Subaru, unless the resistance is the same. Otherwise you can burn the BIU (body Integrated unit) overtime and that is going to be real expensive.

Your welcome. Thanks for posting.
Staple removal tool good idea.
Those festoon type bulbs come in a variety of lenghts. The ones you installed in the map lights holder must have been a millimeter or so off !
Thanks for posting. They were off a bit.

Your welcome Terry. Yes I was worried about breaking the Lens as well.
Dammit , I found this after I had to figure out how to get the front dome lights out lol. 😂
thank you Jim for the information and showing how to replace the lights.

Thank you. Thanks for posting about after market led.
hey Jim! do these fade on and off slowly similar (for ex when locking the car) to the original bulbs?
Didn't notice my led fading on and off.
thanks guy!
Your welcome.
Gloves? Seriously dude?
Wore gloves so I wouldn't to protect the led lights from oils from my hands.
@@JimMcLaren1950 if you hold it properly its not a problem
Gloves won't hurt anything either.
@@MrEvilTag Holding it properly would be by wearing gloves.
@@fabianaguilar3459 it has no exposed components that require it
