thanks foomph...just a little trick that i just learned..to remove the rear door interior courtesy lights.. first pop off the plastic lens cover with a flat tip screwdriver from the pushbutton side and it is hinged and will hang down revealing the bulb..this is fine if you want to repalce the bulb only..if you want to remove the assembly just pull down gently and it will come out.what happens is when the plastic cover is down it releases a metal clip that is on the assembly(hinged side) which holds the assembly in the headliner..if you dont pop down the plastic lens cover it is very difficult to remove assembly and you could damage headliner..rob
