Changing my dome light bulbs?!

[GooeyGus]

Hi everyone....

How do I get to the dome light bulbs in my '90 TSi?! I dont see any screws in the little panel (which houses the dome light and two reading lights). Does this just snap into the headliner? Can I just yank it out? I tried tugging on it a bit but I didn't want to end up breaking the thing.

I have a few burnt out bulbs in my dome light (how many are in there? Two? three?) and I would like to change them. I've never had interior lights in my talon and today I finally decided to stop being lazy and popped a fuse in there (I figured there would be another issue... not just a fuse ) and everything works! I'm amazed at how much I missed having interior lights without even realizing it.

I can figure out how to get to all the other bulbs, but I'm having a heck of a time with the dome light.

there is 4 bulbs, just pull on the cover it will pop off.

Which cover? The clear plastic covers over the actual bulbs? Or the whole black platic piece which holds the clear bulb covers?

the whole black piece comes off with the clears attached to the entire piece, then under that is the bulbs and buttons, pull on it at the front or back.

Thanks guys! I got it off. Are there any higher wattage bulbs that will fit in there? They just seem so dim even with both of them working (the dome light bulbs)
