Default How To I Change The Window Switch Lights??

Yeah, this may be a stoopid kwestion...but I can't figure it out. Got to them okay...but how in the hell does that light bulb come out?? I tried pulling it out but that sucker is stuck in there good. It looks like that socket is all one piece too. So yeah, how did you get those bulbs changed??

I shattered my last ones trying to get a grip with some needle nose. Had to scrape out leftover chunks with a small pick. See if a paperclip or something may be able to push it from the back.

I wrapped about a 1/4 inch of electrical tape around the outside of the bulb and used some needlenose pliers to get mine out. It is definitely in there good so just be patient and you'll get it.

Default Another Window Switch Light Question

Okay. I replaced my burnt out window switch bulbs with LEDs....and it looks cool....well, at least one side does. I have no idea why but the passenger side is not neary as bright. Swapped the bulbs, and still, no difference. The LED looks bright when its not snapped in....it just seems like the light is not getting through that little window. Has anyone tried drilling out that hole??? WTF...annoying as all hell
