There is a little red light that illuminates the buttons on the door and it's burned out and i can't take off the bulb. :(
I don't want to pull the wires too hard and tear them.:bang:
It's on a trans am.
Has anyone taken the light off? How ?:confused:
Do you have to cut it all off?:confused:

You can pull it out, just grab some pliers and yank that sum'bitch out. For some reason those things get really stuck, so just rip er out.

mine (camaro) melted, I ended up having to break the bulb with tiny needle nose pliers and pics. I was finally able to get new bulbs in there.

If I do that I will break the bulb then I can't get the little pieces out? :bang:
Is there another way? :confused:

You can get the pieces out. Thats what I did. Just use a small screw driver, drywall screw, a pick... something small and skinny.

No, that's an industry standard bulb number available from any auto parts store.

Do any LED sponsors here sell different color replacements? I thought I saw a thread on this before, but I can't find it..

:engarde: I fought with mine for awhile, then I got fed up and deceided to I was going to have to break it. Just take some pliers, crush the bulb and pull it out by the filament with a pair of needle nose pliers.
