Removing map light?

I have a 2005 C230 Kompressor Sedan. How do you remove the plastic covers on the map lights without breaking them? I already removed the main dome light, but the map light plastic just doesn't want to budge. I'll get one corner almost popped out then when I try to work around the other corners it pops right back down. Please help

its the one on the sun visor or the one in the middle??? if its on the sun visor just pop it... if its in the middle you must take out the bulb from the inside... so pop the unit open... it's easy... starting from the dome light then push the two metal pins thats it...
