Default Dome light lens removal?

How do I take the cover on the dome light off? I got some interior led lights but I don't want to start prying at the cover and break something.

Are the covers for the license plate and trunk light also just simply pulled off?

Thanks.

Look at the dome light towards the windshield. There are two slots, one on each side. Pry a little with a flathead screwdriver and it just pops right off. The trunk is the same, find the slot and pop it off. I believe the license plate light cover is the same, but it's been a while since I've looked at. Just take a look, it should make some sense once you start messing with it.

they all pry off. I think the dome light one is the hardest to get off even though its easy. Look for the slot for the dome light and trunk light as newman said. The license plate light has a slot too I believe. Just play with it and you'll figure it out.

Yeah, I got it. Wasn't too bad. Actually, putting the dome light cover back on wasn't the hardest part.

there is one slot on the license plate light, I think it is on the left side of the housing. Stick a small flat head screwdriver and pry the lense downwards. If it is hard to see you can pull off the entire housing where it snaps into the bumper mount holes and then it hangs down a bit and is much easier to work on. If you choose pull it out from the bumper it just slides back in place upon reinstallation.

i did a diy a year or so ago on here, too bad i didn't have pictures. if you're taking apart the dome light to clean the connectors be sure not to lose those tiny springs, i had one shoot out in my garage and i still haven't found it...

It should be the same way like removing the soft top catchers, here is a link from cornerspeedtv on youtube that might be of some help:[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kk270jaF1zI [/media]
