Hi there not sure how far you have got but first of all you need to take out the two screws in the back light .Then ease the back light up a little then it should come away ..You will then see the bulb holder (black rubber outer case) You will find it's very tight and hard to get off .
Be carfull ..if and when you get it off replace the bulb but before you put it back together put a little grease /oil on the rubber then it will be easer to remove the next time .. Chas

Hi there I read the question wrong and got the answer wrong sorry .
regarding the indicator bulb you have to take the indicator off to get at the bulbs ..
If you look at the back of the indicator you will see two spring clips take them off and ease the indicator off but as before be carfull you may break  the lugs off..

The bulbs are called FESTOON ...
