Get a flathead screwdriver and slip it in the back of the light where you push to turn it on. Pry it open (SLOWLY) and when the back pops out do the same thing to one of the sides. It will then fall off. Do the same to the other light. Unscrew the screws that are in the corners where the lights used to be. Then pop off the front of the overhead console and it's off!

Thanks everyone!! Went well. I replaced my overhead console and gauges at the same time, now key FOB won't work, do I need to reprogram something or is that unrelated?
Thanks
Rich
