Need a trim removal tool - the plastic cover on mine was really tight to remove. It's only a few dollars on amazon, prevents damage to tabs or headliner fabric.

The clips on the light are pretty stout, thus you need to give it a good push downward (I used 2 flat-head screw drivers), before they release. It will come out. I never needed to take it apart, so not sure if brighter lighting can be arranged easily. a

Replaced the dome light!
Just purchased a 2018 REX and the dome light was in need of a brighter bulb. Get a plastic removal tool and from behind the light lens ie: closest to the windshield there will be 2 clips, in the picture where the tape is. Push each clip in and pull down from the back. The dome light assembly will come out and there will be a plug that will be connected to it. No need to remove it, flip the dome light around and you will see a black plug in the middle of the assembly and just turn it counter clockwise and there you will find a 194 bulb. I used a 194 canbus superwhite led bulb and it is so much brighter now. The bulb dims just like the oem bulb. To put the dome light housing back, there will be 2 small white plastic pins on the front of the dome light that will go in first then push up in the rear of the dome light until you hear a click on each side. Thats it! There is no need to remove the black SOS cover or the cover that surrounds it. I took a few pictures so hopefully this helps.

I'd like to change mine to the same blue that comes on when you unlock the car!

Headliner lense removal
Sorry for the late response diversity83. My led bulb up front has been going strong. As for removing the back headliner lense here are some pictures. U will need a plastic tool to push in the metal clamp on the driver side of the light and pull down. I switched to a LED light assembly that i bought from the dealer, i was tired of the headliner LED bulb going out. Once the lense is out you can unscrew the bulb and install your led bulb.
