Default Map lights and other small bulbs that are a pain to remove.

I just wanted to give you all my quick remove tip for the small pain in the butt bulbs, like your map lights. I was changing mine out last night and could not seem to get those bulbs out, i was close to just breaking them to get them out till i saw a roll of tape in my console. So i took a piece of tape put it on the bulb and pulled down and out, after that it was so easy. I am sure someone has posted this but did not find it and wanted to share. Hope this helps...

Might come in handy for next time, if I can remember! Last time, I just broke them with a pair of needle nose pliers and then pulled the bits out!

Huh, I was able to just grab them with my hand after removing the tin foil.

Unfortunately I did not attempt to remove the foil first, haha. either way the tape worked great.
