Many idea what these guys are so we can order some correct replacements? I’m not even sure how to remove them, I don’t want to break them

Something like this maybe?

No, those are a quad compact fluorescent. Common in downlight fixtures. There's no reason not to replace them with LEDs.
Not helpful to OP, but I had a cash side job assembling those fixtures for a local distributor when I was 15. $0.50 apiece. After I’d spend 10 minutes arranging my work area, I could assemble them at about 1 per minute. $25/hr at age 15. Unfortunately he only needed me to build about 1000 of them.

Yup. Just relamp them and be done.
The base of the lamp should have a wattage marked on it- be sure to check that before you order a replacement. 42W, 26W, etc.
**Edit: that is if you go with a fluorescent replacement
In reply to paranoid_android :
Even with LED, it is helpful to know the correct wattage equivalant. Even if you just want to go brighter/softer, its good to have a baseline. For halogen/incandescent I usually assume 1/10ish ratio, not sure with cfl, maybe 1/6?
2700k-3000k is old school 'warm' light bulb color
4000k-5500k is 'cool'. This is likely close to original.
6000k+ start looking harsh and blue. Some people like this, hurts my eyes.
