Anyone know how to remove the cockpit dome light on a 2008 Express 305?
There are no bolts on the inside of the electronics box. The lens didn't seem to want to budge. I don't want to break it but can't see how it is attached or how you would replace a burt bulb.

My dome light which I believe is a lumitec touch light has 3 screws on the outside which will drop the light down.

My dome light has a lens that u pry out. It is snug but gentle persuasion with a small screw driver should get the lens to pop. There is also a version that the lens twists 1/4 inch and pops out. If you have 3 smalll slots on the body of the light these are where the tabs on the lense get inserted and when turned the tabs lock in the slots. Most of the I have seen pop off with the gentle pry.

yup, pry the lens off and there should be 3 small screws holding it in place.

You guys were right. It was a pry-out style. The lens was just stuck but a little slightly more forceful manipulation did the trick.
Thank you all for the replies!
