I took mine out using a bent paper clip that I hooked around the back of the bulbs. Or if you really have some patience take the whole mirror off the front, but it takes a lot of prying and cursing. I replaced mine with the blue festoon ones from superbrightleds and I had to take the mirror off so I could bend the tabs. For some reason the new ones were a little smaller and wouldn't stay up in there. And the blue leds aren't as bright as the old ones but blue is the dimmest color so what can you do.
I had the long pill-shaped bulbs on a '99 so if the 00+ cars have round ones I'm not sure. But the mirror should come off either way if you pry it real hard.
I used a small pair of tweezers to get them out. Just get them under the bulged part of the bulb and pry up while wiggle it back and forth.. it'll eventually pop out.
And so you know.. they're 194 bulbs.

I just replaced mine with red 194's. Pull the fuse, don a pair of safety glasses, grab your needle nose pliers, bust the bulb itself, and pull out the housing with said pliers. Insert new bulbs, replace fuse, and voila! Let me know if you want pics of this mod in red?
Gotta keep on livin', L-I-V-I-N
I just pulled mine out, needle nose pliers, and pull straight out. Didn't even have to wiggle them.
