How to take out the dome light lense on the overhead console

Wanting to replace the lights with LEDs on both of the single push button lights in the overhead console. Just cant seem to figure out how they pop out. Truck is a 2008 dodge. Thanks

I copied this a while back, never tried it. Hope this helps.

READING/COURTESY LAMP REPLACEMENT
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Remove the reading/courtesy lamp lens. Using a trim stick, gently pry the forward edge of the reading/courtesy lamp lens outward.
Remove the reading/courtesy lamp socket from the overhead console. Rotate the reading/courtesy lamp socket one quarter turn counter clockwise.
Remove the lamp and socket assembly.
Reverse the above procedure to install.

OVERHEAD CONSOLE REMOVAL
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Remove the overhead console retaining screws, located in the sunglass storage bin.
Using your fingertips, grasp the sides of the overhead console and pull straight down evenly to disengage the two snap clips at the front of the unit.
Lower the overhead console far enough to access the wire harness connectors.
Disconnect the Electronic Overhead Module and the reading/courtesy lamps electrical connectors.
Remove the overhead console from the vehicle.

Just the lense, I stuck a thin screwdriver in mine and pried it out. Be gentle. I think that there are clips on certain parts of it. If you still need help later, PM me, I'll try to get a pic for you.
