How to install license plate LED lights

I was wondering if you anyone could give me instructions on how to remove the plastic clear covering so that I can replace the oem yellow bulbs with white led bulbs. Thanks in advance for the help.

All you have to do is get a flathead screwdriver or plastic trim tool and pry them out and plug the LED's in and push them back into place...takes 5 minutes

Take a stanley screw driver (flat head), insert it into the slot on one side of the light holder and push on it to the right side of the vehicle (passenger's side) if you are standing in the back of he vehicle. Then pull one side out at a time.
