You don't need any tools to change said bulbs. The roof ones will unclip and the headlights will do the same.

New bulbs can be bought from SuperBarn or Repcheap.

Just pull off the entire thing. I always just used my fingers/fingernails to get behind it, it shouldn't be too hard, then unclip it and then the bulb holder twists out and you need a T10 bulb (same as parkers bulb). Get some superbright LEDs in there and you'll be laughing, they'll never die and will have much better light.
