is there a DIY - change to LED license plate lights

I bought these LED license plate lights last year and never get a chance to install them.
I look at the rear plate assembly, how do you remove it?
is there a DIY somewhere?
thanks

the oem bulbs are ugly yellow color, we are trying to replace them with white color LED bulbs.
if you drive around, the Lexus IS and BMW 1 series are all having these white color LED rear plate lights as factory standard.
