There is a slot on either side closest to the sun roof (away from the windshield) that you can put a small flat head screwdriver in and pull out

It took me like a half hour to take out and install new dome light bulbs. Only a midget could fit their tiny little hands to pull those bulbs out.

Use the flat head screwdriver to pry the bulb out at the base.

You need a bulb extractor which is a piece of tubing 6 inches long.
This tubing is clear and stocks at Home Depot. Diameter of tubing will be slightly smaller than bulb.
Press the tubing over the bulb and the pull.
