So tonight I was going to replace the bulbs in the rearview mirror with white LED's. I took the mirror out of the car and when I went to pull the bulbs out.....they don't budge. Fail.

At all.

Now it's kinda hard to grasp them cause they're little and there isn't much space available for my man fingers to fit in there to pull.

Just seeing if anyone had any tips? Obviously I can't use pliers bc glass is fragile. (duh) . My fingers just keep slipping off.

BTW, while doing this all I am singing in my head is Pearl Jam- Review mirror. hehe

 

Stick some double sided tape to the tips of the pliers, press them onto the bulb, then pull hard.

 

i wrapped yarn around the bulb and pulled it out like a loose tooth

 

i have no idea but the yarn idea sounds best but what bulbs are you using to replace them and how did you get the cover of the lights off

 

The covers are just held in by tabs, pull a little and they come off.

 

cheese and rice I finally got them. Went the plier route. Get a tiny screw driver and just pry each little tab. There's three. Just be careful when you're doing it they delicate

 

what kind of led bulb did you get

 

Got a pack of dumby bulbs from www.oznium.com . Then wired on some of their LED's. Great site check it out they have everything you ever wanted with LED's

 

I have some of superbrightleds.com's 5 SMD white LEDs in my maplights and love it. The car just feels more upper class with them in there.

 

I replaced mine with leds and they would not shut off all the way.They dim out but are still lit a little.Anyone else have this problem?

 

Yeah I was a tard and used vice grip to remove another members bulbs out and fried the mirror. lol

Mine and theirs are also lightly dimmed when off it's normal for led's

 

Wont it eventually kill your battery?

 

Mine are fully off and havent had an issue and led's draw a lot less power anyway
