i used scotch tape to get a better grip and they came out easy as *****

although initially i turned the black housing the bulb sits in and it fell down in there, so i spent 10 tedious minutes trying to maneuver it back into place with two tiny screw drivers but i eventually got it. that's when i got the idea for scotch tape.

so my final advice is dont turn the black housing and use scotch tape.

for future reference...just pull the plastic molding out of the headliner....it just pops out and you can get the housing right out with ease.

i did the exact same thing. but i never got mine back into place. it just floated around in there till i figured out the whole piece came out. the bulbs were fairly easy to get out for me. (wiggling helps)
