Ok - safety first - disconnect the battery - if not close the doors. I did neither of these but I didn't actually take any bulbs out ;)

Vanity light
Use a flat blade screwdriver to push the unit out from the headliner:

Turn it over and you will see the bulb - pull it out and replace it.

Lights at the side
Use a flat blade screwdriver to prize the unit out from the headliner:

Disconnect the unit and the bulb is located under this plastic cover:

Slide it off and change the bulb:

Rear View Mirror light
Note - this is on a manual mirror - I'm not sure how the auto ones differ.

Flip the lever wotsit forward so you can see the little dip in the plastic. Push a screwdriver into the dip and lever the plastic out:

Then replace the bulb:

Puddle lights
Use a flat blade screwdriver (I couldn't find one thing enough so I used a bulb ;D ) to pop the light out:

You're left with this:

Then unclip the lense to reveal the bulb:

The boot light is the same.
