Default Stupid question (removing interior light)

Okay guys, can anyone tell me how to get the interior light at the back of the trunk area off? Don't really want to just start prying at it...plus it's rather cold out there and knowing beforehand would be nice

A "pinch" in the center of the long sides should release the lens and then 2 screws should be holding it in. After taking the bulb out the metal bulb holders can be released from the housing by pushing in the tabs on the sides of them.

If its cold don't going pinching that lens or you will have two pieces in your hand. warm it up first. hold a work light up to it, warm up the garage something but don't pinch it cold.
