    The roof dome light?

    Just put your fingernails or a screwdriver between the roof and the plastic and pry it off...

    It's really easy, you can probably just do it with your hands.

    Well actually its the light right above the drivers console/dash(map light?), rite next to the sunroof controls... Either way I noticed theres a small screw... Ill go see if u can get the bulb in another color, that way u wont have to paint em... U can use any glass paint from a hoby store... It may decrease light output...

    mine is a CE so it is in the center of the roof i am going with blue interior and the exterior is the same color as Art's (Zero) so i figured either like blue paint on the bulb or some sort of blue transparent vinyl on the inside of the actual dome light
