Smile Help w. overhead roof console / LED upgrade

Hi All,

I need some help with removing the overhead roof console where the map light is for my 2013 GL550. I'm trying to replace the map lights with led. I tried to pry from the front (the end closes to me) but it's held in there pretty tight. I don't want to break anything so I though I would ask my MB family before I try again. Wasn't able to find anything on the web for this model. Any help would be appreciated. Here's a picture of the part I found from ebay.

I am also trying to upgrade the interior lights of my 2015 GL450 but could not find a way to remove the overheard panels (front and rear where the Parktronic lights are located). I am afraid to break them. Were you able to change the lights on the rear roof handlers? Also, I installed 194 LED bulbs on the foot rest area but they do not dim so once you start driving the car the lights stay on which is very annoying. Did you find any bulbs that dim? Tks!!!
