Gen5 Dome light and map light

Hello, not sure if this is a retarded question and i've searched the forum for answers but nothing specific came up.

How do you take off the dome light bulb and how do you open the stupid map light cover?

i've found a thread that taught to use a paper clip to pry it open and i've tried it but it's not strong enough at all.

please help.

The dome light has two small holes big enough for a flathead screwdriver on one of its sides that you pry it out with.

Glaring blue HID bulbs are NOT classy, and don't make your car look nice, no matter what that kid in the Civic told you.
