88 supra dome light removal help

[Jjona5]

I have looked in my factory service manual along with attempting to remove it without forcing anything but I still can remove the two dome lights and the housing from the roof. I am looking to replace the bulbs but I just cant get to them...any help would be appreciated


THanks,

They can be a real pain. If you reach around the shell you'll feel a spot that's cut out which faces the windshield. Grab on there and pull toward the windshield and downward. They're usually on there incredibly tight. I usually start thinking I'm about to break it at right about the time they pop off.

Sorry I forgot to reply with thanks. Your advice was perfect...

There is better way to get cover off, get a screw diver about with about 1/4 inch edge, start probing from the left edge of the cover, that is the side toward the back of the car. In about 3/4 inch the screw drive should fall into an indentation, now with help of the screw driver and your fingers pop the edge, do the same for right side, now your are home free. Put some lub on the tabs to go on and pop easier the next time.
