Default Overhead light removal on 2013 Accord

I want to remove the overhead light to install hard wire for my radar detector. Does anyone know how to get the lights off without breaking them? I've tried to ply easily but am afraid to mess something up. I got the two screws off that were under the eyeglass holder but I know there are more screws. Thanks for your help.

Follow these instructions:

1. Examine the dome light lens before removing it. Most dome lights are attached by four internal clips or by screws. This will vary depending on the year, make and model of your vehicle.

2. Grip the outer cover of the dome. Insert a small screwdriver into the edge between the lens and dome light cover. Determine the location of the tabs and gently pry the cover off. The tabs are usually located on two of the four sides of a dome cover. Be careful not to crack the cover.

3. If the dome light has screws, unscrew the screws and remove the dome cover.

4. Pull the bulb from the light socket. Dome light bulbs do not come equipped with the standard light socket, so the bulb must be pulled, rather than twisted, out of the socket.
