Default Cargo Lamp Replacement

I have a 2007 4dr rubi, does anyone know how to change the lamp in the rear cargo light? I tried a couple of things but did not want to break it and really don't want to go to the dealer to have them change a lamp. Pics are worth a thousand words.
Thanks for your help.

Mike

I don't know the right way to do it... I kept pulling and ended up breaking the plastic tabs that keep it locked in place. So, don't keep yanking on it.

Hopefully someone will have the right way to do it as I can only provide the wrong way.

Default Service Manual instructions

1. Dieconnect the Negative battery cable. hahaha
2. Insert a small flat blade screwdriver into the notch on the tight side of the cargo lamp between the lense and the housing
3. Gently pry the notched edge of the lense downward until it unsnaps from the housing
4. While holding the lamp housing flush wiht the sportbar trim swing the notched end of the lense downward far enough to acess the bulb.
5. Repeat the steps in reverse to reinstall.

Hope this helps you out. Chris
