Default Front Map Lights Disassembly

Well I need to replace the lights in my front map reading lights and I can't figure out how to disassemble the lights.

Does anybody know if I have to remove the sunglasses holder along with the light fixture?

Any help would be appreciated. The lighting part looks fragile and I don't want to break something.

Thanks!
Brandon

yeah it should come down all together. there should be two plugs, one smaller one for the map lights and a larger one for the rear window/moonroof switch (if applicable). pull those plugs and the entire assembly will be in your lap. after that, i believe the map lights themselves plug/slide in from the side.
