I have a 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid. Recently the dome light went out. I bought a new bulb for it, but I can’t figure out how you get the cover off to gain access to the bulb without breaking anything. Has anyone done this? ---

Stolen from the world wide web 1. Turn the light switch OFF. 2. Carefully pry off the lens (A) with a small screwdriver. 3. Remove bulb and replace. [http://z.about.com/d/autorepair/1/0/0/H/86219955.gif](http://z.about.com/d/autorepair/1/0/0/H/86219955.gif) ---

You are most welcome, there is probably a small nitch somewhere for the screwdriver.
