2004 Honda Accord: how to reach and replace map lightbulb? (Located in panel above windshield).
The cover is removed straight down, slowly working it with a thin tool or butter knife. WD40 to front and rear edge (there's nothing medial or lateral). The cover has 2 Y clips on each side, one about half way, and one that clips straight off of the hinge post. There are no "tabs". It will eventually unclip straight down. Then can replace with a DE3175 LED bulb (V-LEDs.com)
The cover is press fit in.
when pried out,you will see a cylinder bulb that looks like a big fuse.
It was easy for me to pry out the clear cover starting the side of the hinge with a plastic knife. Start on the hinge side close to the corner, when you will hear a mild click and the cover will start to come vertically straight out. Since the clear cover is depressed on one side, keep it depressed, while you start to pry on the opposite side. Hope it clarifies a bit more.
