Got picture to show us?

Some dome light covers can be removed by turning the cover slightly, but it depends on what you got.

On square ones some times the lens tabs into the housing on two opposing sides. You have to push one of these sides away from the housing to release the tabs.
We need more clues.(picture)
BTW you need three posts under your belt before you can add pictures.

Once you remove the toggle switch dome light, what are you proposing to put in the open hole?

The brass, round dome light has 1 toggle but no visable screws. Need to get inside to change bulb. Have not been able to turn the outer casing and fearful of damage by prying

Post a picture or three of what you are dealing with so we can understand and offer better ideas.

Use a small head screw driver or thin knife and pry inner ring or the ring around the lense. It just snaps in and it should come out enough to where you can grab it with your hand giving you access to the bulb. Same ones I have.
