Ram Box LED's
Does anyone know how to replace the lights inside the ram boxes and what size the bulbs are? I want to replace the stock bulbs with LED's. I have been slowly replacing my stock bulbs with white LED's but can't figure out how to get to the ram box bulbs.

BULB
1. Remove the lamp (3) from the mounting hole in the end panel of the storage bin. (Refer to 08 - Electrical/8L - Lamps and Lighting/Lamps/Lighting - Interior/LAMP, Storage Box - Removal) . 2. Pull the lamp into the storage bin far enough to access the lamp wiring (1) and bulb socket (2) on the top of the lamp housing. 3. Firmly grasp the socket and rotate it counterclockwise about 30 degrees to unlock it. 4. Pull the socket and bulb straight out from the keyed opening in the lamp housing. 5. Pull the base of the bulb straight out of the socket.
LAMP
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. 2. Open the storage bin lid to locate the lamp (1) on the front or rear end panel (2) of the bin. 3. Lift the lamp latch tab (3) upward while pulling the bottom of the lamp away from the bin end panel. 4. Pull the bottom of the lamp out of the mounting hole in the bin far enough to pull it downward to disengage the lamp interlocking tab mounting feature from the upper edge of the mounting hole. 5. Pull the lamp out of the mounting hole far enough to access the lamp wiring and bulb socket on the top of the lamp housing. 6. Firmly grasp the socket and rotate it counterclockwise about 30 degrees to unlock it. 7. Pull the socket and bulb straight out from the keyed opening in the lamp housing. 8. Remove the lamp from the storage bin.

RAMBOX LEDs bulb replacement
I could not find any good info the web on how to change the light bulbs on the inside of a rambox to LED bulbs... so here are a few pics to help everyone out.
First pus the little black clip/ lever up with your fingernail. slip a pocket knife of razor blade under the edge lens (note that there is a stick foam rubber gasket sealing the lens to the black plastic wall) you may need slide that razor under the foam seal all the way around to keep from breaking the clear plastic. Be gentle! The entire assembly should pop out. Then a quarter turn for the bulb socket and there is our bulb. Pull it strait down and out. Replace with your 194 LED bulbs. Cheap on amazon...
reverse the order of steps to re install. test your bulbs before you put everything back in.. the LEDs only work one way (rotate 180 if they don't light up).
