how to change glove box lite?

[hpctoy]

Light in my glove box burned out. I can't get my fingers or even a small needle nose pliers on it to pull it out. Any ideas?

I used my fingers to pull mine out, I thought it was easy.. lol

you must have smaller fingers then me! I finally got it out with a pair of small needle nosed pliers, but now can't get the new one lined up and in. Did you take the glove box out? Mine has a sort of plastic "guard" over the bulb that I have to open to get to the bulb. I can't see in there to get the new bulb aligned.

I didn't take the glovebox out, it was kind of hard to get it in there. You have to just keep working with it until it fits in there.

fo sheezy is right... i just used my fingers, and i dont have small hands... i do remember it was kind of a pain, but putting the new one in was easier than getting the old one out

Yeah it was a pain in the ass getting the old one out, I had to wiggle it back and forth and it finally popped out. It's to damn small to just pull it out.
