Hi Guys & Girls

I want to swap all the light bulbs in Henry Cooper for LED's I have done the Central Roof Lamp, The ones in the bottom of the doors and Footwells. Now the Problem I have managed to remove the lens off the Reading Lamp But I can't get the Bulbs out - can't get hold of them I tried Pliers but I am worried I'll break the Bulb. I asked this on TM but got no real help. Ant Ideas???

Cheers Mike

I don't know if you got a decent answer anywhere but I just did this and my method worked first time.

I got a pair of long nose pliers and put some double sided tape on the ends and pulled the bulbs out easy! I used the sort of tape that one would affix a number plate with.

Hope that helps,

Matt
