TCH 2007 Rear Personal Lights (Reading)
2007 TCH with moonroof. One of the Rear Personal Lights is burnt out.
I have been unable to locate any tabs to release the plastic cover. I don't know it the entire assembly is removed or just the individual lamp.
If anyone can shed come light on this subject (sorry, I just had to say it), please post. A picture may be helpful too.
Thank you in advance.

Owner's manual has no information on removal/replacement.
David - thank you for the information. Any hints removing from the roof? Pry at a corner, long side, short side, ???

Use a set of nylon pry tools for trim work. If you don't have any, Harbor Freight has some cheap ones that you can get (less than $5.00) or you can spend about $20 for a nice set. Start at any side and take your time to pop the assembly out of the headliner. You can then follow David's instructions above to release the tabs to get to the bulbs.

David is correct, I used a heavy duty nylon flat tipped screwdriver to release the tabs. The tabs are located about 1/3 of the way in from either end. I started with the back tabs frist. Good luck!

Job done. Wife and kids happy!
I chose the Sylvania 2825 lamp rather than the 194. (5W vs 4.9W)
I removed lamp holder (4 tabs) rather than the entire bezel (16+ tabs).
Total price - $5.24. Good project for the family.

Wasn't too hard was it? I like it when people start learning new things and skills on their cars. Not only that, but saving cash in this day and time is a good thing.
