Default Has anyone replaced ther interior lights?

I was about to install some nicer LEDs but I cannot figure out for the life of me how to take out the stocks, has anyone done it so far?
In my old A4 it was a piece of cake, but Im nervous to do it on the A6 before I ask here for help first

That's a C7? Mine looks totally different than that and have LEDs stock?

For the front lights, just grab the plastic where it meets windshield and pull it down. It comes off easy. Don't know about rear light. Btw where did you get LED bulbs?

Sorry fells, I wrote my initial post incorrectly; I'm trying to replace my stock lights with LEDs. I got em off ebay about 20 bucks for them, I'd like to see how they look. It's a pretty easy mod, if I think they'll look tacky then I'll just go back to my stocks

Only the Prestige has LEDs standard throughout the interior.

Has anyone been able to go from LED interior dome lights to incandescent? I have a '12 Prestige, I can't stand the interior LED dome lights.. they are so cold and uninviting, really disappointed with the color temperature audi chose; its like gymnasium or office.

Would so much rather some sort of LEDs that are warmer or switch it to incandescent..

I have a 2013 Prestige with LED headlights. I think every light in the car, threshold, footwell, interior, license plate, etc. is LED. Is that correct? If so, I will never have to replace another "burnt out bulb". Yeh, Yeh!

The red lamps on the doors that face to the rear where you open the door are incandescent. as is the trunk light. Strangely, the lamp under the door (puddle) is LED.
