A proper panel pop clip removal tool makes the job a breeze ~5mins.
If you don't, use a screwdriver but be prepared to curse a lot and probably break a few pop clips here and there
Buy one off Ebay for $10 it'll be one of the most useful tools you buy.

My clips pulled straight out with not too much effort. Just take out the four across the bottom and move the trim enough to access the bulbs not as hard as it sounds

Use a flathead to loosen the clips a tiny bit, then use curved needle nose pliers to pull them out. Easy.

I counted the clips the other day at work, (sad I know) there are 14 including the 2 rubber stops, which too just pop out.

easy as, altho if you have big hands like me, its annoying. especially when the light falls out after closing the boot a few hundred times
