Changing front map or courtesy light bulbs

Evening,
How do you change theses bulbs? Pop out the transparent lens? It seems very stiff and brittle and I don't want to force it and break it. Or, take out the whole unit from the lining, which I did, but then how do you get to the bulbs?
Regards

Neat product at amazing price
I had LEDs in for a while but missed the warmth of the filament light and, more importantly, got fed up with the flickering when an LED failed and the dim glow they gave out when everything was off (all discussed on here - it seems LEDs can excite even with v low current flow).
At that price though its gotta be worth a try!

Bear in mind that if you have an alarm that is triggered by voltage drop caused by the interior lights coming on when the doors are opened that it may not trigger due to the low current drain.
