How to change map light bulbs in overhead console
 

My '96 suburban has the overhead console with the small round map lights. I want to clean the dirty lenses and replace the bulbs with high intensity LED bulbs. How do I get to them?

I found that they come out by pushing in on the lens and turning. There is a pattern for a Torx driver molded into the face of the plastic. Then a small screwdriver is needed to remove the bulb from the bulb housing / lens assembly.

Please advise what size Tory required to remove lens. Thank you!

I just pushed and turned gently with my thumbnail (only turns one way )and it popped out. Haven't tried to remove bulbs yet, was killing time waiting on the wife, shopping.
