Woody is correct. The light assembly on my 2000 broke when I removed it to change the light bulb. The newer parts have metal retaining clips which are more robust.
Here's a thread that provides instructions for upgrading to the newer-style light: Dome light swap from 97 to 04 type, possible...?
When I bought my light from a recycler, I asked them to provide the connector from the car with the assembly. The car-side connector in the older cars is different than the one in the newer cars. I just cut off the old car-side connector and soldered in the new one. Another post on the linked thread shows how to solder directly to the circuit board if you prefer.
