The entire housing is also removable for better access to the bulbs.

Dude, you need to PRY THE ENTIRE HOUSING OUT

Start by prying in the middle of the bottom side of the light housing (below the black plastic portion. You should be able to pop the entire housing out. Then, you can unclip the wiring harness using a small pointy object to release the clips.

Once the entire housing is out, you need to find the clips that hold the light in the housing. Unclip those like you unclip the harness. Then you should be able to pull the light out and gain access to the tiny 74 bulbs.
