2008 RL- Both front ceiling lights not working

Both ceiling lights on front side are not working. Rear one are OK. I thought it is unlikely that both light would go out at same time is less. Is there a separate fuse for front lights?
I bought car few months ago and noticed now.

I was able to find part number of the bulbs- 8W as 36602-SJA-A01. However I am not sure how to replace it.
Is there DIY for removing clear lens for replacing the bulbs?

The clear plastic cover has to be pryed off using a flat head screwdriver and then the old bulbs get removed. Just beware, don't apply too much force on the plastic lens. Wouldn't want to break it!

My issue is similar. The button for all the interior lights (left of "door") is very intermittent. Sometimes I have to press it 10+ times before the lights come on, sometimes 4, sometimes 1. Very weird. Switch feels the same, like there is nothing wrong internally, it does not make any electrical sense. Anyone have a clue?
