Change bulb in the interior light?

The bulb in my interior isnt working anymore when i unlock the car / open the door. I'm pretty sure its the bulb in the interior lightning, because this has happened once before.
So my question is, how do i change this? I've tried to open the cover, but i can't get it open. Is there any specific tools/tricks?


Here is the light i'm talking about, it's NOT the ones by the mirror..

All you need is a screwdriver to pop the dome light's housing open. Wrap the end in tape so you don't damage the housing (although if you're careful you can get away with it even with no tape). Pry it open from the exterior edge closest to the windshield.

Credit card might be a better tool to remove dome light.

OP from Norway. Replies from Philippines and USA. At times like, I'm still amazed at how much the Internet has changed society in the past 20 years. For many on this forum, the net is like TV was for my generation -- something that was always there, but it wasn't, and we now live in a different world.
