88-VETTE-L98, I just did a mock up of the door light / black door handle trim, you need to remove the door panel to get at the bulb. Sorry for the incorrect advise. I am thinking the door arm rest is in the way of just pulling the black door trim to get at the light. I plan on re-assembling at least one of my doors this Sunday to walk you through this.

88-VETTE-L98, pull the door panel so you can access the black door trim.

Very good. Glad we could help, some what. Your LED's, what light color did you order? White light comes in cool white (blueish) and natural.
