did a lil reading and it looks like you going to have to relearn all you system sensors and settings in power windows .. i would be very careful if i were you.. :eek: at this time most relearn can be done manually.. :) no more info on that car.. waiting for mitchell 1 ondemand5 to up date.. :frown: these new car are equip with state of the art electronics.. :squint: so if you can change these bulbs in 5 mins i would go for it.. anything longer and you will need a relearn.. please do at your own risk.. knowing what you have and what ive read.. i would try changing them without disconnecting battery and leave key 30 feet away from the car , because im sure you have key-less.. wish you luck buddy.. :dblthumb:

Thanks!! Really appreciate it! You think if I just change it without unplugging the battery terminal I would be fine??

Just trying to replace my license plate lights or trunk lights and maybe my dome inside the car. I gave been reading and everyone is saying pulling the negative plugg isn't a problem. Seems like it really doesn't matter.

your fine as long as you don't turn nothing on the car while changing.. after each light check yourself to make sure one by one work.. change one then turn the light on if it works go to the next one.. note if there leds light.. if it doesn't work don't panic just take it out and put it back in the other way meaning it goes the other way.. led light have to have nev and pos to the tee ..needs to be prefect... if its wrong it wont work but all if fine.. you wont have any blown fuses.. now let say you put one in and your lights go out ,no worries you just blown a fuse.. seems to be okay for me to do.. note im a technician ;) im here if you need me.. so just you know you do everything at your own risk :nono: if you don't know ask someone that does .. don't take matter to your own hands.. or your be at the dealership :slap: good luck buddy .. ill think you'll be fine.. :dblthumb:
