First you take off all the pop clips that hold on the liner which, if you do them right, isn't very hard. Then when you get to the light housing itself you have to bundge out the clips on either side with a flat head screw driver. Check the garage for a full DIY

+1 on this. There are actually a number of LED DIY's...

Your Owners Manual and the Tech Manual available to download on this site also explain how to replace every user serviceable bulb in the car (all the but the HID bulbs... but there are DIYs on here for that too).
