Back Seat passenger light

Does anyone know how to remove the light bulbs on back roof passenger lights?
I really don't see a lot to remove the cap. When I tried i kind of dinged up the plastic housing of the light.

I removed once. It’s best to use plastic trim tool remover. I can’t remember from which side is the clip but you need to try both sides.

I've been kind of disappointed with the interior lighting (not the accent lighting which is cool). It's just not very bright compared to my old car which was positively sunny. I'll have to keep a flashlight handy if I ever need to read something.

I thought the map lights were the only ones like that. The back ones can't be removed?

Wow that is a complete buzz kill. They couldn't have at least have come up with some better diodes from Infinity? Geeze well that is a buzz kill. I wonder if an older housing with the bulb setup would fit from an older Max or altima.



I appreciate everyone for their help. No I know not to waste my time on these.
I'll have to show you guys the LED's I went with for door wells, License plate, and trunk.
