Default Help removing rearview mirror lights

Anyone know how to removed the map lights on the rearview mirror. I've tried and can't get them out. Thanks for the help.

I assume you are talking about removing the bulbs? They are just held in by pressure. Basically all you have to do is pull on them, but they are in there so tight, it feels like they will break. Try squirting a little WD-40 at the base and see if you can get some needlenose pliers down on the base to pull on. And maybe a little wiggle from side to side.
