Quick question - How to get to the rear DOME light bulbs?

Hi, I just bought this led kit for mercedes clk w209 from ijdmtoy, and it works great!

I changed all light bulbs now except from the rear passenger roof dome and it has 2 light bulbs in some kind of "advanced" cover. - not the simple metal bracket I've seen on other tutorials for the clk.

I dont know how to get to them without breaking the plastic suroundings, so I would be very thankful if someone who's done this before can tell me the right way to open this, and get to the bulbs



The rear light with the parking sensor, pulling it out




Easy to get out




This is where I get confused. How do I get to the light bulbs from here?


Hope to hear from you

I got the LED's here if you would like to get em http://store.ijdmtoy.com/Premium-SMD...rcedes-clk.htm

Best regards,
Thomas

I believe that metal piece just flips open to one side... I had to force mine a little when I changed my interior to LEDS but after you do that it's quite simple.

Just be gentle but I am pretty sure you just pry up on the one side where the wires are coming from. I used a smaller flat head screw driver and it worked like a charm.

Thanks for your reply NewShockerGuy.

I tried what you said without success :/
I've posted a new pic where u can see the metal brackets more clear.

Would suppose they should just pry open, but they just seem to bend and not open. I've tried to pry open them on the marked positions.. They also seem to be 2 single metal brackets, but inside the they are one big piece.

Also added another pic that show's a piece of the metal holdings inside (on the side). Could this be of use to get it open?
