Me, too. Used a masking tape to cover the bulb in the driver's footwell to increase the fiction between your hand and the bulb. Or try electrical tape but it will leave some sticky residue on the original bulb.

My car is a lease so I don't think i'm going to mess w/ the puddle lights...seems to be too much of a hassle.
you'll spend 100 bucks on an LED kit but 32 bucks on a tool to do the job is to steep?

and before anyone says "you get what you pay for" 1.) for the price of some of the kits listed in this thread, I could buy ten replacement kits off amazon. 2.) I've used these in my 4runner they work/look great along with the these for some dome light configurations pending light connection types:

Amazon.com: NEEWERŽ T10 36 SMD LED Light Festoon Dome Bulb Lamp White 12V: Automotive Amazon.com: NEEWERŽ T10 36 SMD LED Light Festoon Dome Bulb Lamp White 12V: Automotive

for anyone that needs to see "super white/bright" in the discription:

You just need a proper plastic prying tool . The prying point is either left or right side of the enclosure but is always on the same side for both vanity light.

For 3IS -
Thanks for the help!

Dammit. I wouldn't have spent $110 bucks on the LED kit if I had known it was that easy to find 10 piece kits like that on Amazon...laziness got the best of me.

lol. live an learn.. I wouldn't have known either if it wasn't for someone I met on another forum. I like the idea of purchasing them individual so you can control the level of light in different areas..
