I just did the same job last week. Simply pull on the bulbs and they will snap out of their holders. You might need to rock them a little to get them out.

Installing the new bubls is a matter of pushing them back into their holders. You'll know when they're in place. Pay attention to how the tab on the base of the old ones was oriented, as the bulbs will only fit one way. Be sure not to touch the glass on the new bulbs when reinstalling. It wouldn't be a bad idea to give the glass on the new bulbs a light wipe with a cloth that has been dampened with a little rubbing alcohol.
