Nope, Ours you can swap very easily. A Marine could do it in less than 60 seconds without tools....though the small flat-head screwdriver does reduce the risk of collateral damage.

I was just ordering the LED interior conversion kit and LED underhood light and it shows $76 (UPS Ground) and $15 (USPS) to ship to Hawaii. Is that accurate? Its just a couple of lightbulbs...David
