Do you mean to use a small flat screwdriver to pry it off or push to pull?

Which side of the len that the screwdriver to be inserted?

I tried using a credit card to pry it out without success.

Yes, if you can, please take some photos of this "vanity" len and where the tabs are located! Thanks.

I figured it now!

There is a slot on each len, each of this slot is facing to the window glass.

There are 2 plastic tabs on each len. Use a flat screwdriver and push the two tabs at the same time and pull the len out.

The festoon bulb inside the len is 36mm.

Bingo!, I was unable to take photos but yes, on the window side pull down with your finger nails or credit card, then push in on the taps, I also noticed on mine, that it wasnt the bulb. There are 2 contacts on the arm that must line up with 2 other contacts to energize. mine were out of alingment. Pushed it back in a now it works.

I used my finger nails and credit card method but no succeed. I suggest using a coin (quarter) or a flat head screwdriver to push the 2 tabs at the same time.
