Removal
Step 1: Pull up & back.
The cupholders are just snapped into place. As you
pull up, also pull back toward the shifter some. It
won't require a lot of force, but don't be afraid to give it
a good tug. Be careful not not to yank it way out,
since there are wires attached. As you can see, my
cupholders were nasty from a major drink spill and needed
cleaned.

Step 2: Remove the light.
The light should slide back & out. You may have to
tilt the harness a bit to release it. There is a
little door that you can pop open with a screwdriver if you
need to get at the lenses, which are just thin plastic.

Installation:
snap it back in.
