Older style light bulbs got very hot so they needed to be made of a substance that could withstand high temperatures and also allow light to pass through. Glass fitted the bill on both counts, plus it was cheap to produce and can easily be made into the required shapes.

I'm not sure of the make of your vehicle but normally the plastic lens cover will pop off. If you get the cover off the bulb usually pops out. Do not use pliers as the bulb could shatter and get glass all over. (EYES) If you get the bulb out, before you put in a new one, close the car doors and make sure that the dome light is off. They get real hot real quick.
