Interior bulb fitting ?????

[jackt33]

Does anyone know a easy way to change your interior light bulbs in the mirror ? I have taken one out and will be replacing it with led's however it seems really difficult to get the bulb back in and I wondered if there was any technique to doing this ? Thanks

As in the bulb wont go back in or the led wont physically fit into the space?

Well just fitting it back really, its kind of at a odd angle and trying to look underneath the mirror sat on the edge of the seat is kind of difficult. I wondered if it was easy to take the mirror off to just put them in facing down like on a table rather than trying to get it in looking underneath ?

Mirror comes off with a simple twist.

How many Jack's does it take to change a light bulb?

I just did mine and I just gripped the edge of the festoon bit with long nose pliers.
But it is a pain especially on mine cause the socket attachment had corroded and didn't want to stay in place.
Also the LEDS I got seemed slightly shorter than the stock ones and wouldn't hold, so had to make some little aluminium foil crowns for each end so it fit in snug.

Ahhh i see, mine seem's to be the same with a short led bulb so thats very helpful as that would of been my next question. thanks
