How to change Map light bulb

Post by danielal »

I bought some PIAA's and I wanted to change the stock Map light bulbs. I opened up the cover and it's a tight space!I can barely get a grip on those little tiny bulbs!How did you guys change yours? Very Carefully???

Got it!!!I found a solution to the problem. I use one of the PVC hoses. The size I use was the same size as the wedge bulb. I gently push the hose towards the bulb so the bulb would go in the PVC hose. One there's enough suction, pull it gently and waaalaaah!This is simple method and better yet, you wouldn't have to sit there a break the wedge bulbs and try to figure out on how to get rest of the of it out!I hope this helps to anyone who is changing their map lights.
