its the bulkier LED bulbs which fit in really tightly...it doesn't come out easily or go in easily

Wow that sucks. I would try the vacuum first because to open the housing, you have to bake it.

Clkboi, have you seen the thread dedicated to the bugs people get in their tail lights?

Besides a vacuum.....gum on a stick as an option.
Also available is a three prong grabber (like the claw) tool.
Been there...good hunting.
