take a flathead screwdriver for both and find the indent on the edges of both and push in and down, they will pop off. The license bulb is on the left. Push towards the right and down. The interior dome you push in on the front and down, very easy should pop right off

Wow this is an old thread, the only one I could find on the subject.

Did my interior bulbs without any problem but I am having trouble removing the license plate bulb housing.

Anybody got any tricks or ideas?

each license plate bulb is housed around plastic .. on each plastic piece there is a place to put a screwdriver head. put the screwdriver head in that slot and slide the plastic to the right ( if not right, left ). it is spring loaded so it pops out and then you'll see how to switch the bulb. very easy mod.

That's what I was trying, but I was trying to kinda lever them out.
