Default How do I replace light bulbs in WS 2010 Fiesta over the centre dash ? pic included

hi guys

can someone tell me how do I replace the light bulbs over the centre dash console?

here is a photo of the section I want to replace bulbs in:



I tried to pry it open but even when i pulled fairly hard, it just flexed and it did not come off and I did not want to pull too hard so I dont break it. I was pulling from the outside, not the clear plastic within if that makes sense.

can someone please post up some directions on how to get to the light bulbs?

thanks

Use a flat bladed screwdriver from the centre rear of the lamp unit (closest to the windscreen) as per the diagram below.

From memory there are two small clips on that side that you have to pry out. try at those with a small thin flat blade.

There are two clips at the front and back part of the light, these come off easily.

however, the whole light seems to have two large clips on the left and right side and these seem to hold the whole thing on the roof and no matter how hard I pulled, they do not give and I cant see any pins/locks where I can insert a flathead to release the clips.
