I just replaced my eyelids with LED bulbs, all you just have to give it a firm pull and you'll feel it pop out. You wont break anything, trust me.

yeah, just try to get your hands on the ribbed section past the wire and give it a good pull. Don't pull on the wire, pull the actual plastic piece the wire is attached to. Practice on the left side facing the car as you have much more room than the right.

Elaine,

Once AZN_300 gets the green light from the mods, he is going to have another GB. These dual emitters LEDs would works beautifully with your 8000K.
