The covers don't come off all the way. They just swing open. If I remember correctly, they swing down from the inside out, toward the passenger windows... not fromt to back.

I used a very small screwdriver to pop them open, and I had the tip wrapped in a microfiber to avoid scratches or dents in the plastic.
Another thing to keep in mind... change the bulbs with the doors closed, so that the lights are not on.
Those little buggers get to be like 4 trillion degrees in seconds. You pop them out and they melt right through your hand. (not really, but they do get hot)
