Replace cargo light?
Does the light cover pop off or do you have to remove the entire panel? Thanks.

It comes out relatively easily. One side is a squeeze tab and the other is a tab that slips behind, so you have to make sure you are on the squeeze tab side. If memory serves me right, it is the side closer to the hatch that you want to pop it on, but I will check on one of mine for sure and let you know.

IIRC, the point to pry has a small groove on it

That's correct - There is a groove and it is towards the back of the seats (as opposed to towards the hatch). The plastic lens is crazy brittle, so don't try it if it is really cold.
To remove it you slip a very thin screwdriver or plastic blade between the lens and the black plastic and push towards the hatch to release the clip, while lifting outward.

weird, mine has the squeeze tab facing back. i was prying the wrong side and almost broke the thing. then when i removed it, i realized i had a wrong bulb. it's much bigger compared to the dome light bulb. all the other toyota cars i have have the same dome and trunk bulb.
