If they aren't coming out and you are going to replace them anyways, give them a couple wraps of electrical tape and then grab with needle nose pliers. If they break, at least the pieces won't go everywhere.

I used a screw driver to pry them out. If you can get one end, it should just drop out. Didn't really have too much trouble with them. Be diligent in trying to find a good bulb though. I know the blue ones I use in my car would work for a couple weeks and then start to turn yellow from the heat and the color was lost. Not sure if they make LEDs for that but they would be ideal.
