They should pull straight out right? Do I need to remove any other plastic?

Advice for next time: use a piece of tape, stick the tape around the bulb then just pull on the tape. Easiest way to get the bulbs out.


X2. Exactly what I did. Works perfect and no risk of broken glass all over the inside of your truck.

This is how I did it. Painters tape or masking tape for added gripage.

I've got a set of gloves that are sticky on the palm side... they worked great for this. Was able to get my fingers up there, and with the stickiness of the gloves, they came out pretty easy. I like that tape idea, though... may have been easier than getting my fat fingers up there.
