I would like to buy new leds for my monte but honestly, I don't know what exact size to get. I just want white as well, nothing exotic.

Thanks JJ & Blacksheep for the led info. I call myself buying the right kind of led bulb for my trunk and ask for cool instead of white. Now, at night I can see while the light is on in the trunk but honestly, it don't cover the whole trunk like a regular light bulb would. I just want a light that will last longer of course and I want to change all lights (from headlights, fog lights, brake lights, tail lights and all interior lights) to super bright led lights that I can see with. I even bought the led white tail light bulbs but when I installed them, I had a long pole prop on the brake pedal and the seat for the brake light to come on andcome to find out, it wasn't bright light the regular light bulb. Why, I don't know! LOL

Isn't it set up the same way as the 00-05?

If so, you take a small flathead and stick it into the passenger side of the CLEAR cover and gently pry it off from that point. On the driver side of the cover there are 2 clips that stick into the roof, but on the passenger side it has the release point. It's much deeper than it looks, so you'll need a good small screwdriver to pry (I used one from my eyeglass repair kit) Just push in from the passenger side and pull down gently.

Don't pull too hard, you don't want your headliner to come with it.
