They are tough to pull out with just your bare hands. Use a pair of rubber kitchen gloves and pull them straight out. The gloves give more grip.

also, the sidemarkers are sealed. you have to dremel them open and do some soldering to remove the LED's

or you can use scotch tape. just cut a longer piece, wrap around the bulb, connect the ends of the tape to each other, and pull.

I recently did the LED interior changeover (LEDs all around inside including doors and trunk) and AM LOVING IT!! They were dirt cheap on superbrightled.com ... makes my car more modern ..

The LED lights are the single biggest compliment I get from non-car entheusiast folk. The beautiful growl of the AEM V2 and the firm and agile ride of the A-Spec suspension don't even cross their minds...lol
