SDL replacing burnt out bulbs?

I've got two questions about replacing burnt out bulbs inside the car. After driving it for a couple days my girl friend pointed out that one of the bulbs that give light off for the make-up mirror on the visor is out. I look at the mirror and I couldn't find any screws or anything that holds it together so I didn't get it open yet. Is there some trick to get to the light bulbs, I need to get it open to get the burnt out bulb to take to Auto Zone and get a couple new ones. I don't want to break anything.

The other bulb that is out is the bulb in the rear seat above your shoulder, it doesn't look like there is any screw holding anything together there to. Does the glass lens unscrew? I think it might but I couldn't get it to turn. Any chance it is the same bulb as the mirror light?

Thanks for the help.

Along the lower edge of the mirror door, there are 2 small holes on each side. using a small flat screwdriver, gently push in, and pry us slightly one one side, and then the other to release the catch. once it releases, close the door and lift up. there are two places on each top corner that it fits into a slot, lift up on the bottom and gently lift up and down and slide it out.

they just snap in, just have to release the catch on the lower side first.

Look in your owners manual for the wattage size of the bulbs.

The rear dome light just snaps into the hole in the panel. using a screwriver gently pry it down on one side and it will drop down.

Most all the models are the same.

Thank you, I haven't got the chance just yet but I'll give it a go as soon as I dig out a small screwdriver. I figured it might be something like that but I didn't want to go prying and break something when I did because I was doing it in the wrong place.

The rear light I was talking about is over the shouldr towards the outside, I figured it was a reading type light witha thick glass lens, has a small switch to turn it on and off. Not the light in the center that comes on when the dorr is opened.

I'll look closer at it maybe it needs to be pried out like the other lights do?

I don't have a complete owners manual so I couldn't find out what bulb goes where, mine is a collection of some loose pages and the cover. But it did have the info about what the dash lights where for that I was trying to figure out. I'm going to post in the classifieds for a owners manual, hopefully someone has one they can spare.
