I had to get the wife to do mine as my (quite small and delicate!) hands couldn't get in there at all.
My wife eventually managed to get the things out but I wasn't a popular guy for a while afterwards!

I used a set of pliers. Believe it or not, it took me about 1 hr just to change those bulbs! I even managed to snap a bit of the plastic bulb holder 'handle' from the side with the air box because there's so little room and i just forced it out
