Dome lights cover removal

I want to replace the dome lights with LED's but I don't have a clue how to remove the dome assembly. Searching around the forum but no result coming for 2008 W211. I have panorama roof also. Can sombody give me some hints how to do it ? Specially the one for the rear passengers

Front or rear? Front is a b i t c h to be honest. Just pulled it down a few weeks ago to install the interior motion sensor off switch and take this nasty SOS button assembly out.

I know..I pulled out so easy using a you tube video but put it back? That's another story, after more than an hour trying finally I got it. That been said I don't think I'm going to do it again just to change those bulbs for led's. I didn't try the rear ones yet and be honest I don't know if I'm going to do it. Maybe......

Why would you wanna do LEDs? This low glowing amber light is just perfect. Not irritating and just underlying the nice interior of the car. I don't even make it any brighter as the default value is. It's bright enough to see everything and dark enough to not bother with reflections while driving.

Leave your W211 as it is. Too much tuning makes the car look like a ghetto ride and devalues it.
