Default A small domelight problem

So I was changing my bulbs to LED's in my dome light yesterday. When I got to the middle light I was pulling out the old bulb and I must have twisted or done something a little akward and the socket fell out on the inside of the dome light. So there is no way for my fat little fingers to try and get it back into the correct position. How do you take of the dome light assembly? Is it clipped in or do I have to do something extraordinary like remove the headliner? It's creepy not having a dome light that comes on when you open your doors.

ya and just a little FYI you dont twist the bulbs, you just wiggle them back and forth till they are lose. If you twist them the sockets can fall out.

That happened to me several times. I would just bang on or around the assembly with my hand and have the piece jump and pop around until it fell a little bit back into the hole. Like a mini game of golf. Pretty annoying but only takes a minute.

Two Microtweezers and a lunch break later I fixed it, but I noticed something. There are no wires connecting the bulb holders. Just thought that was kinda cool that they used a circuit board like that.
