I guess it depends on which ones you have. I think some are just 2 LEDs per ring and the other kind is a CCFL halo. I don't know how to change the CCFL ones though. Got pics?

They're like $30ish iirc. If you wanna replace them, get led rings, they're cheaper and will last longer. Not exactly the perfect circle of light like ccfls but they're just as bright.

I replaced my map lights with white leds, they're MUCH brighter than stock. 194 bulb. I had them in blue in my old car and they were still brighter than stock. Get wide angle bulbs.
