Can someone help me understand why I cannot pull the map light bulb out of the front overhead console. They are pretty deep in there and seem to be surrounded by a silicon board and possibly held in by two black prongs on each side. I tried pulling, prying, tongs, etc and feel like I am going to break the housing or crush the bulb. Anyone have insight on this? Are the rear 2 dome lights similar to this setup as I didn't even get that far.

Wrap a piece of tape around the bulb and pull it out. It also helps if you put on some thin rubber gloves to get more grip but the tape should do.

+1... like bbqsoup says

For some reason those bulbs are the most difficult to pull out. I experienced the same along with others here. Follow the advice given here and you should be good. I think you will find the other bulbs will remove with less effort.

My biggest challenge was waiting to for bulbs to cool so I didn't' burn my fingers... I know.. I should have probably pulled the fuse :-)

All great ideas, thank you!
