Back Dome Light Replacement...

Has anyone changed there back domelights?? I changed my front domes, but seem to be having trouble with the back ones. Its harder to take the bulb out! Also, is it the same bulb as the front, looks kind of different.

From the picture, they seem to be the same shape, but the front lights are 4CP and the back lights are 5W. Other than that I can't find any more info.

You might have to use the shrink wrap trick outlined in this thread http://www.acura-tl.com/forums/showthread.php?t=76235

They are the same bulbs, just keep working them, they'll come out.

the back, front, and door light bulbs are all the same. The back one's are a little harder but doable just be gentle yet firm with them.

The easiest way to remove the bulbs is to use shrink tubes
