I used dental floss, though fishing line would work even better. Tie a lasso on one end, slip it over the bulb, and tighten the hoop. Still tricky, but got the job done for me. Good luck.

Edit: I just remembered that I was unable to pull the map lights in my '04Z. The bulbs were slightly different, and I ended up leaving them be.
