2001 Dome light bulb replacement

Is there any trick to replacing the map light bulb in the dome light? Since I can't see any screw covers, I assume there are blind fasteners holding the thing to the headliner. I just don't want to yank on it and break something. I just got a copy of the 01 Cherokee PDF manual, and it doesn't seem to offer any instructions about changing the things.:banghead:

Thanks!

Sooo... You have an '01?

My '98 has this- http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/3456/jeep29qr1.th.jpg (http://img404.imageshack.us/my.php?image=jeep29qr1.jpg) (Click to enlarge.)

To get to the map lights, I've gotta take the whole thing down and access through the top. There are 2 screws at the visor clips and a hook thing right above the CB there that points rearward, so I pull the whole thing forward till it lets go of the headliner.

Yep, I have an 01. I recently got a repair manual on CD off ebay for about $50 and finally figured out how to access the info I needed to get the bulb out. Apparently I can take a small screwdriver blade and pop the clear cover off to access the bulb. Pretty simple. My dome light assembly is rectangular with a dome light and two map/reading lights, not a console w/trip computer, etc. I really appreciate the info you guys have and give and look forward to exchanging info with you all!

Thanks again!

All,

Thanks for the input. I popped the cover off the map light and changed the bulb. Easy!
