Replacing 2nd & 3rd Row Dome Lights...

Ok, I'm stumped... I've pulled the housing out for the 2nd row dome/reading light and I'm trying to replace the bulb...

How in the hell do you separate the trim from the housing to replace the freakin' bulb?

I've almost broken the thing in half trying to get access to the bulb... My FSM doesn't give any indication how to separate the housing just that the bulb needs replaced...

That works on the front row reading/map lights but I can't find any way to get the lens out on the 2nd row...

I just did this a few months ago when I replaced everything with LEDs. I know I removed some of the housing from the headliner. I am on baby duty for the next hour, once I get a chance I will go and look and take a few pics for you.

OMG! It was so easy to pull out the whole assembly I just figured it must come out that way! That's too funny. Reps sent!

It was still in there pretty tight which is why I thought I would break it, but once I got the screwdriver tip into the slot it came out pretty easy...
