    Do you just have to take the map light lense off to replace the light bulb?

    The MAP lights are a 'button' - which might be designed differently than a standard lens/light. I honestly don't know for sure.

    Taking the overhead console down is SIMPLE. Why not take it down and poke around a bit before trying to poke & pry at the lenses?

    You do not have to take out the console to change these bulbs. The lenses pop off using a eyeglass screw driver.
