Default Front Dome Light Install Question

Sorry if someone already answered this, but I looked throughout the forum and doesn't actually say exactly how to install the lights on the front dome.

It doesn't seem like you can remove the cover from the outside, So..

Once I remove the 2 screws in the sunglass holder, do I just pull it down hard? Is it held with some kind of clip? I'm afraid I'll pull it down and a whole mess of **** and wires will come spilling out.

You can use a tiny screwdriver to pop off the plastic lens, but you risk damaging the plastic if you're not careful.

To remove the assembly, yes, stick your fingernails behind the plastic, pulling the end down that's closer to the front of the car. Yes, it's help in by clips and pops right now. There's no mess. GL!

i gave it a somewhat strong tug, and it came down rather easily. no need to be afraid of ripping the whole thing down. the tabs keep it in place and secure, so pulling down won't do anything major but maybe make a little noise. nothing to be afraid of. a few screws to uncover the bulbs, replace, and re-insert the dome housing again. best of luck!
