Switching the leds in there and dont feel like taking the whole door off.... again lol I saw in the DIY it says use a flathead to get them off but that would scratch and break the **** out of them i know it

You can always try to pry out the trim panel, but you run a much greater risk of scratching the door and/or panel. It's not hard to take off the door panel, so I'd recommend doing that.

if you use a flathead, you can stick a piece of cloth to cover the door area that the screwdriver touches.. it wont scratch it. i used a flathead on mine unprotected and it worked fine, not a scratch.

Let your fingernails grow a little. Hehe.

Taking the whole panel off would probably be the least risky choice. But I've popped those suckers out with a screwdriver a number of times, and never scratched anything in the process.

I scratched mine all up prying them out with a screw driver.... I suggest you pull the door panels...

Taking the door panel off takes less than 5 minutes. Don't take the chance of messing it up. It's not worth it, because, you know you'll be a lot more mad that you messed it up rather than spending a little extra time.
