Default Map light

So I got my new C7 Home and I wanted to see if i could replace the map lights with color LEDs like I did with my 2010 GS. Funny thing the map lights are already an LEDs and it doesn't look like you can replace them. Now the problem once I got the clear plastic cover off I can't seem to find out how to put it back on. Has anyone else tired this and if so how do u get the cover back on????????????!

I think there 2 tabs on one end and small plastic clicker on the other end. Put tab ends on first and push on the other end until the lens clicks.

It seems as if the plastic cover is what held the LED light in place. Once you remove the cover the light floats around making it very difficult to replace the cover.

It shouldn't be that way. Find out why the bulb holder is loose.
