Rear Passenger Curtosy Lights

How do you replace/upgrade the Rear Passenger Curtosy Lights - I can not see anyway to remove the clear plastic or housing.

Thanks,

CS

Ok found out how to remove the plastic but the bulb doesn't have a number on it - any ideas of the size?

Thanks,

This is the bulb - the black plastic comes off and there are just two wires to the bulb - no standard fixings:



Any ideas?
