Default LED license plate lights?

I am looking to replace the yellow license plate lights on the 1998 es300 for white lights, LED or whatever is cheaper. How do I know what to buy? How do I access the bulb?

Technically it is illegal, but if it's light enough there wont be a problem. Mine are white, at least that is what the package said
