   Open the boot and you can just about get in behind the cover pull the tabs in then it should pop out then unplug replace bulb etc... if you can't reach then remove the boot cover for easier access.

    buy two new ones, and snap the old ones off as they dont tend to come off without a fight. replace both unless you want one of them to be bright and one of them to be dim
