Interior light

Interior light
The driver's side interior light above the rear view mirror on my 2002 is out. Before I run to my not too close Lexus dealer, I assume I could easily replace it myself. But it is not obvious how to remove the plastic cover.... Help!
Thanks,
Bill

I believe that there is a little hole on the edge of the plastic square piece. You insert something like the end of a paper clip in there and pop it out. (I think.) I haven't done it myself, but that is what it looks like. Shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes to do the entire replacement.

I used two small flathead screwdrivers one the outside edge to pry the cover out. There is a small slot on either side but I couldn't get enough leverage with one screwdeiver. Some pressure is required and it pops out. The problem was, when I got into the housing, the bulb was not the one listed by Sylvania. Mine is a filiment bulb with one end connecting and the listed bulb is a festoon with two ends contacting. Still scratching my head on that one. Guess I will have to call Lexus, which I hate to do. I can see $40 for 5 minutes of work. Anyone know what bulb fits this somewhat critical light? I currently use a flashlight -- Yikes.
