Cabin lights - how do you change a bulb?

[davidbfox]

Hardly a matter of life and death but ...
I've got 30 year old cabin lights. Round, 3 inch diameter, you rotate the clear lens to switch them on and off (sorry no photo). One no longer works, so I need to get to the bulb, but I can't for the life of me work out how to get at it. Whatever part I try to prise off threatens to snap.

I imagine I just have to be determined and confident, but I don't want to break the lens. If anyone has done this before, I'd appreciate your advice.

I have issues stopping mine falling off! can never remember which way to twist them to turn off... will get round to replacing the b*gg*rs some time...

Thanks all.

Push, lift, twist, hope - I'll try them all this weekend.
