They usually just pry out. You didn't say what model / year of Golf you have?

Never had to remove the rear interior lights on a Bora, but they are probably the same lamps as used on the passat. They mount into a metal frame on the headcloth and should just pry out with a thin plain screwdriver.

If its the same as mine, (99 Golf gttdi), i took mine out today to do exactly the same. As you look at the light get a flat blade screw driver and prise at the end of the light (short side) on the right hand side, there is a metal spring clip holding it in, push that down with the screw driver then it should easily prise out.
