    How do I remove the dome light housing on my Gen II? I have removed the two visible screws above the sun glass holder but, It holds fast.

    What special tool can get to those recessed clips? I've got one peanut bulb out in that assembly. Thanks.

    If you look at the diagram attached to the post you quoted, you will see you don't need any special tools, just a screwdriver with the end taped (so you don't damage anything). The diagram also shows the position of the 4 tabs that you need to unclip with the screwdriver, so you know roughly where to insert the screwdriver.
