Do they just pop off with a little bit of force?

No. The indicator lenses are screwed into place. Even to remove the wing mirror covers requires a bit of work.

I was also looking at doing this but a slightly bigger job than I expected.

Where is the cheapest place to pick these up from? Is it only in.pro that do them?

How about just tinting the standard ones or could that not look very good?
