Need help removing interior light please (mk7 fiesta, 60plate)

[Tom23]

Hi,

I have a mk7 fiesta zetec and I have a problem with my interior light. I was wondering if someone could give me some guidance on how to take out the light/bulbs.

i have seen a few guides but they seem to be a different light/lamp. Which is why I've provided a photo below.

i have tried putting a flat blade in the edge on the windscreen side but it doesn't seem to budge... Maybe I need to be a tad more aggressive with it. :P 

Any info on this would be great.

Cheers!

Tom.

Is this the front one? Different to mine as mine has 3 different bulbs. I found a key worked best - look at the side closes to the windscreen there, (opposite to the switch), you can see like a black square "hole". This is a little clip, get your key or something similar inbetween the plastic glass, and the grey casing, and lever it into this hole. You should be able to make it drop slightly as this is the clip thats holding it in. A bit of wiggling and youll have it, shouldn't need too much force
