Easiest way to pull them is take a plastic trim tool or wrap tape on a flat head screwdriver, pry from the bottom center point of it on the tab and it should swing upward and out. Reinstall in similiar fashion.

It's at the bottom of the inside of the door - kind of an oval red plastic piece.

Too funny! Although I have seen an aftermarket LED mod that illuminates these reflectors.
