How do i change dome/map lights??

I posted before but no one gave me direction. Someone told me to use a flat head to pop off plastic cover. I do not not which cover they are talking about? The clear one that lights goes thtrough or the one baje one. I really do not know and do not wana break something in the process of trying to remove the cover.

I figured out how to do it. You just use a tiny screw driver and pry it out from it base, you can wiggle it from the base of the bulb and then lift it out. Easy, safe.

Actually I found the door lights alot easier to do because you get to have the bulb fixture in ur hand rather than working on ur back tring to pry out the dome lights. Either way returned everythin to stock cuz the LED i bought form ebay are ****y and low powered. I need to get better ones.
