Open the trunk and remove the nuts holding the assembly in place. With nuts removed the tail light assembly will come out the back then you can remove the light socket to replace the bulb.
the cover does not come off, you must remove the entire light assembly and remove the bulb from the back side
Im not familiar with the Escort but all dome lights are pretty much the same, place your fingers along the long side of the light cover and your thumb along the opposite and squeeze then pull down. There are tabs along the front and back sides that fit into slots in the fixture so squeezing the dome light cover pulls the tabs out so you can take it off. after replacing the bulb just snap it back in.

To remove the interior light in a 1997 Mazda truck, first, make sure the vehicle is turned off and the battery is disconnected for safety. Use a flathead screwdriver or a trim removal tool to gently pry off the lens cover, being careful not to break it. Once the cover is off, you can remove the bulb by twisting it counterclockwise or pulling it straight out, depending on the bulb type. If you need to remove the entire light fixture, locate and unscrew the mounting screws holding it in place.
