Sun visor help

This is driving me nuts. I cannot figure out how to get the bulbs out of the visor mirror. Has anyone ever had to replace them? Banging my head against the steering wheel in frustration.

Haven't had to replace the bulbs but n mine the lens covering the bulb has a slot in the top(in the middle of the lens) and a tab on either side of the slot. You will need a small blade screwdriver, insert in top slot, move screwdriver handle towards the headliner. You wll see the lens bow and the tabs start coming out of the top. It should just pop out then, go slow and carefully so you don't snap the lens. Guess they don't figure on anyone ever changing them as my owner manual doesn't list the bulb type. Hope this helps

Yeah, I went through the manual and couldn't find anything on it either. I have the lens off I just can't figure out the how to get the bulb out. I don't want to break it off in there as that would mean replacing the whole damn thing. Thanks for taking the time to reply though.
