    You know the socket that holds the bulb into place? I'm having the worst luck/clearance ever to even make those things turn. Anyone else have similar trouble/tips? Trying to put leds into them >_>; thanks in advance!

    I used a small pair of needle nose pliers to aid in turning that base of the socket

    Depends how big your hands are, I was able to swap mine out to dual front facing SMD's today. You just gotta turn real hard to the left.
