87 SR5 4runner maplight bulb replacement?

I have an '87 SR5 4Runner and I have NO IDEA how to get to the light bulbs in my map lights (the ones by the rearview mirror). Does anyone know the trick?

map light replacement

Can you be a little more specific? What do you pop off? The two little black covers? The lenses? The whole unit? I'm not talking about the single courtesy light that comes on when you open the door. I'm talking about the two, individual lights up front by the rear view mirror. They each have their own switches and light up separately.

Here it is-picture from the owners manual, the text is in French- I can't understand a word of it.

It unsnaps from the back (the side opposite of the switches) and swings out and forward. If you just grap the back of the cover and pull, it should pop open.
