Having never felt the need to remove my bulbs I can't offer very much. The service manuals don't offer much either:
1. Remove the lamp lens from the mirror housing. Pry carefully with a small, flat-bladed screwdriver at the rear edge (1) of the lens, furthest from the windshield.
2. Remove the bulb from the socket.

The best way I found it the old "Chinese finger" trick. you need to find a piece of rubber tubing that fits tight enough to just fit over the blub, push it on and pull down quick, the bulb will come with it. Remember the led’s are polarity sensitive so they only work one way

Thanks guys, I finally removed them with a small flat blade screw driver which was suggest by another member but it was a struggle. However, while prying the driver side out the on/off button and part of the switch contact fell out. Not sure how to get this back in place.

The very last tool I would use us a screwdriver, not sure how to get that back in

The flat blade worked just fine. I knocked the switch loose trying needle nose yesterday. The reflector moved and that's what caused the switch to fall out.
