yep. it is held in by little clips. carefully stick the flathead in between the edge of the clear part and the housing and pop off every side little by little. Be careful so that you dont break any of the clips.

You won't find any LED festoon bulbs for the dome light anywhere in a store. Only place to get something like that would be the net. Check out ebay, superbrightleds.com, or autolumination.com

Not necessarily, ebay's not always the cheapest place to buy stuff.

Be careful, if you force it you'll make a mark on the surrounding plastic part.

Do you turn off all of the electricity in your house when you change a lightbulb?
