Default Overhead console lights

I over pushed my overhead console drivers side light, it's up inside the overhead. The light still works when I open my door. Luckily the b@stard didn't stick on. Is this gona be a pain, I don't know anything about the overhead Any info is greatly appreciated.

That happening is VERY common. There are two screws near the front, take those out, then slide the consol and it will fall right out. You can either pick another one up at the junk yard for about $15 or you can just JB Weld it. All that happened is that the mounts inside broke, they are cheap little things so JB Weld with some extra gusseting should hold longer, you just wouldn't be able to switch out the light bulb without re breaking it, if you JB Welded it..

I just put in a longer screw to hold the lense back down, in the same hole as the original to grab the threads the short screw missed.
