Installing New Dome Lights for '06 Acura TL

Is there a video or a thread out there that shows how to change out a bulb in front and back dome lights inside car? I recently ordered some blue lights for inside through Amazon, but once I take the plastic cover off the dome lights I cant seem to figure out how do I get to the actual bulb. I can get to touch the bulb but cant get it to where I need to actually pull bulb out and be able to replace with the blue lights. I cant find an exact thread showing step by step process.

You don't need a step by step. Just hold the bulb and pull it out. If your fingers are too big, use scotch tape, wrap it around the bulb and use that to pull it out.

The only thing I'll add is that the stock bulbs get VERY hot after usage. Let them cool down a bit before trying to pull them out. Don't ask me know I know

Like two other people said, just use Scotch tape to wrap onto the bulbs and then pull down. Super easy job. And one that makes a huge difference for cheap! I get tons of compliments on my bright white LEDs

bulb part number is 2825, similar form to 194 or 168 bulbs but with different watt ratings. if you go LEDs, they are essentially interchangeable.
