take a small flat screw driver and pop the lenses out. there are 4 little prongs that hold it in place. not sure on the light bulb numbers. I think the big light is #202

The bulbs in the door are #73. They are called door floods somewhere in the owners manual or FSM. They are the same size as the flood light in the bottom of the rear view mirror, except that bulb is a #74 which is a little brighter than the door floods.

It just pulls straight out. No twisting, mine were hard to get out. When you do get it out and go to put new bulb in do not tough bulb with your fingers. Use a tissue or paper towel as not to get oil from your skin on the bulb as it will burn out faster.
I put a piece of paper towel around bulb to get a better grip on the bulb when I took mine out.
