    I have a 2005 Grand Prix SE. I need some hep with getting the lens off the back bulbs. I am replacing all my interior lights with LED's and I have had no issues with any of them except the back ones. The light housing is attached to the "oh ****" bar and I have tried pulling the lens off buy pushing from the back forward and vise versa and nothing I am trying i working. My question is does anyone know how to replace these bulbs and if so can you provide step by step instructions and/or pictures. As it stands now I need to replace the housing around the lens as I have really scratched it up. Please Help!

    theres a little tab at the end you press to turn it on, you just stick a tiny screwdriver in between the lens and plastic and angle it and the lens releases.

    Heres a pic of how to do this, you do not have to remove the tan moulding as you can slip the tiny screwdriver between this and the lens.



    I also have two of these complete handle assemblys with plastic parts and everything should you want me to take a pic of the actual thing to help out.
