Hello. I've already tried searching for this and have not found anything so thats why I am asking here.

Recently my VZ Calais door trim courtesy light blew on the front passenger side. I want to replace it and Ive looked through the owners manual to try and find the way to replace it/get the cover off and it didn't help. Ive tried several times to get it off and tried on the other doors and was unable to.

If anybody knows how to do it and can let me know (and anyone else who may have the same problem) it would be much appreciated.

Thank you

On the bottom edge of the light cover is a notch, you gotta slide a small flat bladed screwdriver in the notch and gently press the clip in, and pry the cover thats holding it on the door trim. Gently, gently, or you'll break the the clip off if you press in to hard. More prying than pressing is the key.

Press just enough to release the clip while prying.

It worked. I was able to remove the housing for the light. Thank you very much!
