I used a plastic knife, wedge the end of the knife between the footwell light cover and slowly pop the light cover off. Once the cover is off, it is easy to swap the light bulb.

What he said, but instead I used a small plastic interior trim removal piece from Harbor Freight Tools.
I have a small interior trim removal tool also, only I call it a screwdriver.
Me too, but I wanted to make sure I didn't damage anything, again. Let's just say I have personal experience using a small screwdriver as a pry tool, and having it cost me $100 to replace something that was nicked by the screwdriver. I learned my lesson. Use the proper tool for the job.
I used a pry tool to get the covers off, but can't get the bulb out.
I had trouble also as my fingers kept slipping off the bulb. What I used was a rubber exam glove. The kind you see at the doctor's office or can get at the auto parts store. Or just use some carb/brake cleaner on your fingers to get rid of all oil.
Works well for the door and footwell but the trunk seems to dim/dark with these.
What I found is not all LED bulbs are created equal, and most do not give off the same amount of Lumen or brightness. Try to find ones that state what Lumen they are, and go for the brightest ones. Also note that we are limited as to the number of SMD (LED) that a device has so don't order one that has 20 SMD and expect it to fit. Check the overall length too.
I have a bunch of worthless 194 LED bulbs so hopefully my mistake will help you find the correct bulb.
