i got some high powered LED from superbrightleds.com

but im just having trouble removing the socket of the blub from the car.


am i suppose to turn counterclockwise to release the blub housing?

-i looked at the diagram, thats what it looks like, but not really budging, not trying to force the darn thing might break it since its just plastic, someone help if ya can.

 

Get some needle nose pliers and use that to twist. If it's the first time your removing them, it's gonna be hard.

 

twist it hard, i think it was counter clockwise, itll pop out, use a wrench, it helps. then you pop the bulb out and replace, and your done

 

yeah pliers will help out a lot. just dont squeeze too hard or they'll crack...
what kinda LED's did you get??

 

^^ his first post said he got it from superbrightleds.com.

I wanna do this too! Such a subtle and inexpensive mod.

 

Yeah but what kind. The 5 LED. The 6 LED. I myself got the one high powered LED. Things are sweet. Light up the whole ground behind my car

 

just use pliers and pluck them

 

use a small towel wrapped around the socket with the pliers or else there will be hella scratches left on the socket.

 

i used a slip joint plier

 

- got the same ones like u did, but to of no avail did i get the damn thing to get loose, plus i was pressed for time since i had to go watch a movie

 

watch out for the tabs on the hatch when your getting to it, i had a couple break and they seem to sag sometimes

 

 

^^ x2.. they are pain to remove for the 1st time

 

When i first removed mine I had about 5-7 differnt guys try to get that thing out and no luck....the pliers were the heros!!! Thank god for tools!

 

Why would you twist the bulb? I thought the bulb were wedges?

I know, its probably a stupid question, but I'm about to do it too. hah.

 

First time I actually broke both of mines so I had to order 2 new ones. Thought I would have learned after one but I guess not. They were pretty cheap to replace.

 

You don't twist the bulb itself. You twist the socket that the bulb sits in. Its a plastic piece.

 

-sweet the split joint pliers did the job, better than the needle nose. thanks u guys.

mission accomplished!

 

these lights r a pita to get out took me almost a whole yr

 

- angled pliers helped out too....-
