The trick I've employed when removing small bulbs from tight places is line your pliers with duck tape making sure the sticky side is facing out to grab onto the bulb.

Now this is a great idea! Thing is, is the bulb/lamp an incandescent or LED? If LED, I'd think those puppies would be soldered in but but I've never tried to mess with an individual LED in a car, just audio and video electronics. Someone educated me please.

When I changed the interior bulbs in my truck the small bulbs were incandescent and where too small and slippery to grab so I did the duck tape thing. The leds replacements were just pushed into the socket with my fingers.
