Replacing Glove Box Light Bulb

[Konasan]

Hi guys I just want to ask how to replace the light bulb in the glove compartment of my 99 Eddie Bauer. I'm going to replace the stock bulb for LED but I can't figure out how to pull out the bulb due to the little space/opening where the bulb is. Thanks.

Ha good luck with that, I have no clue how to do it and I ended up breaking the glove box light housing when I tried changing mine out. When I ordered a used housing online it had an existing halogen bulb in it and I simply used a set of needle nose pliers and very gently pried out the bulb and slid in the LED bulb, and then bolted the housing back in place. So that's my only suggestion.

@NC-Expy Thanks for the word "bolting". What I did is unbolt the glovebox light housing( which is pain on a butt for me because i don't have an extended socket) then use long nose pliers to take out the bulb, then i put the LED bulb in, bolted back on, done. Good thing I read your reply. Thanks.
