to just replace the bulb you just pop the plastic lens off and take the bulb out. you sorta have to use a thin flat head or something to wedge in there to pop it out. there are clips on all 4 sides so it's in there pretty good just need some force applied

ya just use like a flat head screwdriver and carefully nudge it out so you dont break it. Fairly simple.

Go to professional auto paint shop (or maybe home depot has 'em) and get a plastic bondo spreader and use that....screwdrivers can leave a nasty gouge in the plastic housing (around the lens)

It's kind of a pain to get out but not impossible...just be gentle...
