Answer
Hi,Val

No question is silly,the second row dome lamp has 2 options,ill give you removal for each one.
The first one is,will have a lens covering the entire lamp,you'll need to use a small bladed tool to release the retainers on each side,slide the bladed tool between the headliner and the lamp housing on each end,this will release the retainers,if you are changing the bulb,insert a small flat bladed screwdriver into each end of the lens between the lens and the housing.
The second type has a lens in the center of the housing with 2 lamps on each end,you'll need to remove the center lens from the housing,again a small bladed tool inserted to the ft or rear part of the center lens,after the lens is removed there are 2 screws securing the lamp in place.
