They are pretty simple, just use a butter knife and pry out the cover.

Here is a DIY showing how to take out the cover for the map light.

Edit: On the side note, if you are using BLUE filament bulbs, they will appear white. BLUE LEDs will be more brighter but too ghetto looking. I'd say get the white to give it a clean look but thats just me.
