I appreciate you for trying to help, but I am trying to replace the whole dome assembly, not the bulb, since the switch broke and slides back and forth freely. Do you know anyone that can help me with replacing the whole dome assembly unit in the roof of my 2008 Hyundai Accent. Thanks Again.

Pop the lens out and there should be 2 or 3 screws holding the housing in.

I think there is just a couple of plastic tabs around the dome light assembly holding it in, if yours does not have the 2 screws. just grab one end and wiggle it as your pulling down.

Get the replacement and inspect it. It will probably be obvious how it is installed.

It seems that the Dome light assembly is about 100.00 . If it comes on when the door is opened and goes off when the door is closed I would just pass on that expense .
