C320 overhead dome light W203

How do you remove the map lens to replace the bulb in the overhead dome light on a 2003 C320 W203? I tried pulling it off, but afraid the lens will break. - Thanks-

Get a small flathead, wrap some tape around it and gently pry it off. It will snap back on.

UPDATE: Found out how to remove the front overhead dome light. First you have to remove the large lens cover revealing the main dome light bulb (small screwdriver in the part facing the rear of the vehicle). In there are two 'levers'...pull them toward the rear of the vehicle and pull down slightly...the entire overhead dome light unit will pull out. BTW...this is the only way to replace the map light bulbs.

Yes, that's right - need to get through that bulb area to the other. It's really a(nother) badly engineered thing on these cars.
