Use a small flathead screwdriver to pry off the plastic covering

I pushed my seats all the way back, went under the dash, used a flathead screwdriver to pop off the plastic covering, and used my fingers to pull out the bulbs.

As a last resort, you could use needle nose pliers if they are too hard to pull out with your fingers, just be careful not to break the bulb. I would wrap electrical tape around the ends of the pliers to give it more grip and you'll have a better chance of not breaking the bulb.
