The whole lens part unclips and comes out as one piece. I just worked my way around it and kept prying on it till it popped out. Kinda feels like it's gonna brake in the process.

The issue I have now is the led's i put in there don't fully turn off. When the truck is running, or off and locked up, they have a faint glow. It's just the ones in the front map lights for some reason.

Any trick to getting the bulb out I can't seem to pop it out with my fingers and the pliers I have can get around it.

I think I just used a small flat head screw driver and just kinda pried it out.

Same odd crap in my '12 Gator.... doesnt seem to drain battery, but really a "wth????" moment since Im pretty sure I used the exact same brand and model of LEDs as in my '09 Expy, which does NOT do that

You could try tweezers for stubborn bulbs.

Dont be TOO afraid of crushing them, but have something underneath to catch any shards if it gets to that

That and wear gloves. It takes days to get broken bulb pieces out of your fingers. Not fun!

Well thanks for the advice I really don't want to break the just in case they are the wrong size. Although if all else fails

Sorry I haven't given a update on the situation. The flat head srew driver worked I got the front leds installed. I also did the plate lights which look amazing! Now I need to find time to figure out how to do the rear interior lights. Also the leds I have dont stay on they just flicker slightly when they turn off. So far I love them much brighter then the halogen bulbs!85544044c92cf923a9ba95e3a38bce43.jpg

Middle row just pry the plastic easy as can be

Rear is a little more fragile and requires a different bulb
