Changing Door/Courtesy Lights

Hey guys,

I'm trying to change all of my cars lights to LED. I changed everything so far besides the courtesy lights. I can't get the light bulbs to pop out. I've tried using a flat head screw driver as well as pulling and twisting. Please help.

They just pull straight out. Some have been successful with wrapping a piece of tape around the bulb so you have something to pull on.

You could probably get floss or twine around the bulb and pull that too.

Hi Tony586! What type LED did you use for the courtesy lights and how do you like them? I want to go all LED interior lighting as well :P

Grappler171, Do it! I bought them off Ebay, real cheap. I replaced all interior lighting, back up lights, license plate lights, and trunk. They're pure white LED (no blue tint). The old lights look cheap compared to them. They look great!
