Default How do you change the interior lights on a Gen 5 Lexus ES... Help please?

I recently bought a LED set to change the interior lights on my ES 350, however, I can't seem to remove the covering on the map/dome/center lights without breaking something ...

I took the screws out on the center console piece, but I can't get it off even with a flathead. Same with the center light, there's practically no room to even squeeze a 1mm flathead in without damaging the fabric/plastic.

Have anyone done this before or have pictures/videos as to how I can go about replacing these bulbs? Thanks!

There a lot of and pics on the web, this video help me with my car, but it is IS 350 in the video. I'm not sure how close of a resemblance it is to your interior setup. I would purchase a cheap plastic trim removal tool to insure not to mar your interior.
