This method works great! Put a little scotch tape over the flat head of the screwdriver to avoid scratching and pry gently -- it pops out and you can do the swap in like 5-10 minutes.

So I took apart me GTR button to get a better look on what's inside.
If you look at the picture the beige "nodes" at the 11, 12, and 1 O'Clock positions are the lights that come through the lock, acc, and on position.

Does anyone know how to change out these lights and what kind of lights these are?
