Dome lamp is not working.

Not wanting to damage the dome lamp, in any manner, is the access to the bulb a matter of removing the chrome bezel ....... or just the plastic lens ?

Pull down on the chrome bezel or squeeze the plastic lens ?

Thanks.

Pull on the bezel. May take a big jolt to break it loose.

Thinking further on this dome lamp bulb replacement, there is a slide switch located on the chrome dome light bezel.

I'm thinking the socket for the bulb is secured to the roof panel, while the slide switch protrudes through the chrome bezel.

Is the slide switch attached to the roof panel or to the chrome bezel ?

The switch is part of the "body" of the dome light. When the "clip on" bezel is removed the swich will stay in place.
Remember the wire power wire to the switch is always hot and the switch is just the ground.
