Removing Eyelid Lights?

Alright, this is probably really easy, but I must not be doing something right. I also searched the forum a number of ways and nothing good comes up.


I got the Water resistant caps off to the 4 lights, how are the bulbs in there its not working if I pull and I can barely get 2 finger tips in there.

What's the secret???

After you've opened the caps, just pull the bulbs straight out with your fingers, no turning required.

Key is to pull HARD! It's not easy though, but you'll get the hang of it after 2-3 bulbs. Don't think you'll break anything.

I've been doing this for the past few days experimenting with my new LEDs!

Hope above helps... Good luck!

Just yank it out by the loop like C180 mentioned. You won't hurt anything..

For anyone interested,

I sucked it up and just started with a very gentle tug on the wiring of the eyelid lights, slowly increasing the pull and they just popped out simple as that.

Good luck, just start slow and it will come.
