Back dome/map light cover?

I bought the Interior LED Light upgrade but can't figure out how to remove the map/dome light covers in the back seat to swap out the bulbs. I'm afraid to break it. Any tips or pictures?

Thanks. I looked at that post. I didn't see anything about removing the covers over the lights on either side of the back seats.

Ah.

I don't have those, just the centre dome light which includes the 2 map reading lights. I guess your lights on the side are from a different year build, or part of another package?

Gets some pics and I'm sure someone will advise.

Get a small screwdriver you should see a small little notch on the top part of the light housing. Place flat blade in notch and push, there is a clip holding light module in place. Once you push and pull out module you simply unscrew the bulb from its housing and install the new bulb. Easy.
