    Remove the clear cover and turn the bulbs 90 degrees they should come out.

    can you put your fingers on teh bulbs? they should twist and then slide out.

    Assuming that you can touch the bulbs. Grab the bulb with your thumb and 2 to 3 fingers and rotate the bulb 90 degrees and remove. FYI this should be in the Lighting section not ASAP. Good luck.
