"DOME LAMP REMOVAL

(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.

(2) Using a small flat blade, pry the left side (driver’s side) of the dome lamp lens downward from dome lamp.

(3) Allow the lens to hang down (Fig. 1), this will disengage the right side of the lamp (passenger’s side) from the headliner.
