Easy way to get to license plate light bulbs?

One of my LED bulbs is already starting to flicker... reading the forums indicates this is pretty normal. going to put the original bulbs back in.

but getting at those under the bumper requires the worlds smallest hands that can bend in 6 directions at once. is there any easier way to get at those bulbs?

I looked at coming at them from the lens, but don't see an easy way to pop it out and didn't want to break anything.

 

supposedly that entire housing in front comes out but I've tried to push on it and it never budges. maybe better luck for others who will chime in.

 

Small hands.

 

I hated changing these lights. Took me forever!

 

I actually have small hands... doesn't matter. there has GOT TO BE an easier way. I'm swearing so much my wife is leaving the house for awhile

 

I bought these just to get to them:

 

My brain is confused on how these work.

 

wow...not sure how those work.
UPDATE: did it. need Band-Aids and whiskey now.

 

Should have used a trim panel removal tool and you can pry them and get them from the front a little then wiggle them the rest of the way no need to get all bloody unless your drinking bloody marys
