Got it thanks guys. I'm still having trouble with the maplights. But in the meantime I did hook up some led strips to my sub so they flash when the sub hits.

I can get the plastic out but don't seem to know how to get the bulb out and fit the new one in.

In the back I always just pulled then with a pair of needle nose pliers, or a glass fuse puller if you have one

Slightly modified Spark Plug Boot pliers come in handy for yanking pesky 194 bulbs from various confines. Plate lights, doors, high mount stop lights. etc.

Yeah but the map lights are the festoon bulbs and can be even trickier, especially on the rear of a SCrew.
