Rearview Mirror Map lights

[McMarcus]

I cant seem to remove the Map lights located in the rear view mirror. Ive taken off my mirror, pulled to them with pliers, nothing. I cant get a grip of them, is there any trick to doing it? Am i not pulling hard enough? what? because im starting to scratch up my reflective inner lining. Im replacing them with Blue LED's, but cant even get them out, can someone help me out?

DUDE!!! ... There is little screwdriver slots in the lenses and they just pop right out. Not much force is needed and you definitely don't need to take the mirror off let alone disassemble it.

^ and I think hes talking about the bulbs...

If you can get a hold of them at the base with some needle nose pliers that's the best way to do it. Mine were frozen in place too. I broke one. lol.

[McMarcus]

Lol, yes im talking about the actual Bulbs, map LIGHTS, and i cant see the base, its tucked in, but theres no release latch?

[Philbar71]

^ nope. as far as I know there is no release hatch. I just pulled the crap out of mine with some needle nose pliers at the base.

I just broke em with my pliers. I didn't care, I was putting new ones in anyway! Just make sure if u break em, turn your face the other way.
