Pesky map lights

I got some new 194 socket led's to replace my map lights but i can't seem to pull them out of there. Is there a trick to getting them out?

i used a pair of needle nose pliers. just grip, wiggle, and pull (thats what she said). they'll come out. just dont squeeze too hard and smash the bulbs

I have an easier way. Just take a ziptie and start to close it. Make the hole a little bit bigger than the bulb. Get the loop around the bulb and tighten it. Pull that sucker out. This is what I did to get them out when I was throwing some leds in there.
