Map light replacement

[brockeverly]

I searched, could not find anything of value. If its out here, please link me :hello:

I am trying to replace the map lights with LED bulbs, but the bulbs will not come out. I asked my dealer (just bought it today) and they gave me a story that they are lifetime bulbs and never need replaced. Look to me like standard 194 bulbs, but no matter what I do I cannot get them out. Any trick to this?

Isn't that the most stupid, asinine thing you ever heard? Don't know if I'd be angry or laugh in the guy's face.

Sounds like the dealer is getting confused with the accent LED in the center O/H console lense. Duh!
