overhead map lights

Does anybody know what the procedure is for replacing the bulbs in the overhead map lights. I am not sure if the whole bezel comes down or the push on/off lenses pop out.

The whole unit pops out. It takes quite a bit of force to pop it out, and is also fairly easy to break. Just pull firmly, and carefully all around where the edge of the unit contacts the headliner.

Changed the bulbs this afternoon, 1 side of the bezel has to carefully be pried down (used a butter knife) then the other side to get access to the bulbs. There are 2 prongs with fasteners on them that snap back up into rectangular holes to install it.

Bulbs are D8BZ-13466-A
