Removing 348 interior light?

Total dumb guy question: trying to upgrade the anemic interior lighting in my 348 TS, and wanting to know the best way to remove the light assembly. I assume it just pries out, but safer to look like a knob here than to risk breaking $omething.

Yes, I did search-- no doubt it's posted here somewhere but I didn't see it and kept getting distracted by other cool threads.

 

Bwahahaha! Easy for you to say. So many great threads here...

Just to clarify, my car is a TS, so the light is on the targa bar. Same removal procedure?

Leo, that light assembly is the same one I have in my X/19s. My '76 has a chrome surround, my '85 has a black surround. And yeah, X parts are waaay cheaper than F-car specific stuff. Hence the question. After 30+ years of working on cars professionally and as a hobby, I've finally learned that it's better to look like an idiot and ask someone who knows than it is to risk breaking a part.

Thanks to you both for your quick replies. About to head out and see if I can figure out how to remove the lamp from the targa bar but if anyone can confirm or deny that the prying method works on it as well that would be most appreciated.

 

Thanks, Jeff & Dave. Very much appreciated!

 

Using the excellent tips offered here, I was able to easily remove the interior dome lamp assembly by inserting a 1" putty knife between the lense and the frame, and then levering the lense out. The assembly itself popped out just by putting my finger through one of the holes in the back and pulling downward. Piece of cake after you guys showed the way.

Dave, at your request I poked around in the recess and wound up finding a cable apparently terminated exactly as the one depicted in your thread here: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/348-355-sponsored-bradan/488943-audio-installers-any-ideas-what.html

My car is a US spec '91 TS with an aftermarket (dealer installed?) electric antenna mounted in the right rear quarter. AFAIK, the US cars were no longer fitted with roof mounted antennae by '91, but perhaps the factory continued to install the cable for use in other markets? Or perhaps the roof mount antenna remained the factory solution even after they quit installing them as OE, but dealers here opted for a look more familiar to Americans? Do you know if mid and later year UK spec 348s were fitted with roof mount aerials, either by the factory, or by dealers?

Thanks again to everyone who offered advice!
