I need new bulbs in the reading lamps of my 1996 Jimmy. I currently have the console out of the vehicle. How do you get the lens off of the lamps go change the bulb? I have a 2006 Silverado and there is a small notch in the lens where you can pry it out. On the Jimmy, there is no notch and when I try to pry the lens with a small screwdriver, it seems like it's glued to the reflector. I don't want to break anything, so I thought I'd check here. I've seen instructions for the 98 and up (they have the notch), but I can't find anything on the 95-97. I don't see an easy way to replace them from the rear, either. Thanks.

 

OK, in my infinite wisdom, I finally remembered I have the factory service manual. Anyway, for anyone else needing the information, there's a pattern in the center of the lens. You use either a small flathead screwdriver or a coin inserted into the center pattern, then push down and turn at the same time. The entire reflector assembly comes out and you can replace the bulb from the rear of the reflector.
