Interior lights

One of my bulbs just went out and I happen to have a couple LED's left over and wanted to go ahead and replace the existing bulbs with the LED's. My problem is that I can't get a grip on the map lights at all, and can't seem to find a way to get them off. Does anyone know how to get a better grip on them or recommend something to take them out?

Also, what size bulb is the one in the middle of the cab! Thanks again for y'alls help!!

 

Yeah those map lights bulbs are a PITA to remove. I used a set of small curved pliers like these to remove and swap mine:

Stick a knife/screw driver up in there through the side and push down on the bulb. Should come right out

 

Did you go behind the chrome piece or on top of it? I was thinking of doing the same thing.

 

behind.

 

Yep, behind.

 

Right on, I'll try it out later today.

 

Disconnect your battery or u will blow a fuse using a screw driver

 

X2. Put a finger on one side of the bulb with a little downward/side pressure and with the other hand, jimmy a screwdriver up over the back of the bulb. Wiggle it a bit with downward pressure. You can also wrap the flat end of the screwdriver with some black electric tape to make it stickier. I had the same prob.

 

Good to know info so i know what i may be in for when i get my interior bulbs from Jumper LED's.Thanks OP for the thread post as well as TW members info!

 

The bigger the fingers, the bigger the task. You could let someone with smaller fingers do it and get it out on their first try (or else you might end up with your fist through the head unit).

 

Thanks my detailer friend as well!Haha!
