Fingers Too Fat

[briang9]

Anybody got any tips on how to remove the bulbs in the lights in the bottom of the rear view mirror, fingers are too fat to fit through the hole to get a grip of them

thanks

Brian, I don't know how bulb looks like, but try to take a piece of rubber hose and put the end of hose on the lamp. Then grab hose from both sides.

Also, try to take vinyl electrical tape and try if you can wrap the lamp with that tape so the lamp becomes "longer" with tape on it, so it'll be easier to grab.

Try to find pincette / tweezers and wrap it with electrical vinyl tape, so it can actually grab glass object.

like the sound of those Sergey, its a normal push/turn type of bulb with pins, much like a household one, think you have to push it in and turn, the rubber hose/tape option sounds good will give it a try

A thin set of pliers covered in tape for protection works a treat!
