Question Map Light Replacement
I am trying to replace the map light bulbs but they will not come out. Does anyone have a method to try to get them out? I have tried the tape pulling method already and I cannot make it work Thanks.

You can try using a piece of tygon tubing slipped over the bulb. Works for me every time!

Interesting. I know I have a piece of tubing laying around. I will give that a try. Thanks.

That was not nice at all. Why would you spam the forum? Please try to get some maturity.

Make sure you disconnect your battery before doing any electrical work. This includes changing bulbs.

Just wrap some tape around them to make a little tab you can pull on. That's what I've done.

It is okay. I had to remove the entire map/light upper console. It was easy. I am at fault for this too but you should get into a habit of previewing the message before you post. Thanks.
