I'm mechanically challenged and couldn't find any pictures for the install. Super easy but this might help others who would like a visual before trying the install.
You'll need a small star bit and a small screw driver (optional - to fix the circle gasket)
I was able to stick my finger in the corner and pry the plastic piece off. There are three tabs holding the plastic piece together. Be gentle but pull firmly.
Here is a shot with the plastic piece off. You'll need the star bit to remove two screws (circled with no screws)
Unplugging the wire harness is not necessary. Twist the grey connector and pull the bulb. Insert the LED plug and check to make sure its working before you reinstall. If it doesn't work, pull the plug and reinsert the bulb the opposite way.
Finished product:
I also installed the license plate light bulbs. No pictures as its pretty self explanatory.
I ordered the LED light bulbs from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ROUZVSK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
6 pack for $11.99
EDIT: http://www.amazon.com/HAMIST-42-SMD...sim_263_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=134NTYN19NNRZN7GFJCH
These will work as well and will be brighter for sure.
I have these in my prius as well and have had no issues for the last 2 years.
Cheap and bright.
