Dome light cover removal?

I'm wanting to do the TPMS mod by moving the wire in the connector under the dome light cover. How do i remove that plastic dome light cover without breaking it?

Use a plastic upholstery tool, or a popsicle stick to carefully pry around the perimeter, it will eventually release.
Then there are 2 Phillips screws inside that you remove to get to the HomeLink connector.

Will NOT be doing the red,EVER! Will give this a try. Does power have to be unplugged to just change out 1 bulb?

Other than working "overhead" it won't be an issue.. personally I'd rather unplug it and work with it at eye level..

Think green or blue would be my choice of color if I felt the need to change out myself.. LOL.
