Bosch Refrigerator (freezer drawer) light died- how to replace??

Our Bosch refrigerator has a freezer drawer at the bottom, with two LED diode lights. One of the lights went out. I figured it should be an easy replace. Popped off the plastic lens, and there's a little LED diode board. It has one diode as you can see, and I managed to find the newer component to buy that has 3.

HOWEVER, I have no idea how to get it out. The little flat board appears like it would slide out. But it doesn't. Claude tells me maybe it slides out the OTHER way, once the entire white housing is pulled out and unplugged. However I can't get the white housing out- there are plenty of tabs around the sides, but none seem to budge or relieve any tension. I feel like much more prying will break something. It's also a little tough to work around it because the ice maker is just below it, with a protruding lid.

I searched the web (and Claude, and Bosch customer service) to see if I could buy the white plastic housing- so I could see how it comes out AND in case I broke the current one- but no luck.

Has anyone replaced one of these before?? It can't be that hard, it's just firmly clipped in there, but if I break it trying to get it out...then it's broken :P
