I have no experience with this particular car, but on most cars' dome lights if there are no screws visible, the clear lens itself pops out. Try this with a flathead screwdriver or a quarter. Try doing this to each side with gradually increasing pressure.

Check out promanuals.net for a service manual that has install/removal procedures. Invaluable tool for my Ram 2500.

You will have to pry off the lens CAREFULLY using a small screwdriver. There are two little plastic protrusions on each long side of the lens which fit into the casement. You can ease the casement away from the lens enough to get it to pop out. Re-inserting it is the same, but probably easier.
Gently, give it a try.
Hope this helps you.
SOURCE: How do I remove the dome light cover so I can replace the bulb?
once you haved removed the dome light disconnect the power and completely detach it. Take the clear cover off and you can wiggle the switch out in the center (off) position. Be careful not to loose the steel bead and spring. Once removed you will notice on the switch where there is a point of contact. That part isn't applying enough preassure to the power and ground on the base. You can remove that prying it out with a small skrew driver or by hand (which I was able to do). Once that is removed slightly bend the center out like you are going to fold it in half, just enough to make it arch. Then bend the outer parts back out to fit back in the switch properly and replace with the spring as it was and replace the bearing and it's spring and place the switch back in the housing and put the cover on. Reconnect the power and make sure it works before placing it back in place. I was quoted $80 for parts and labor to replace the entire dome light. This took 5 minutes to figure out and put back while parked at the dealership waiting to see if the part was in stock.
