The only part i had a problem with rattling was the DIC on the roof. that thing rattled like crazy! But i just took it apart and hot glued all the seams on the inside to hold everything together with some cushion and now its rattle free!

When I did this I couldn't get the little plastic pieces out...It looked like there was a small plastic tab blocking me from taking it out..Mine looked a little different that the one's pictured here...Car is 01 SS.....Anyways, I just pryed the bulbs out with my hand, kind of frustrating cause of the small area, but it worked just fine.

i can not get these bulbs out to save my life. how in ur pictures the whole casing came out, in mine the silver part in the actual mirror stays in. barely and of the bulb is sticking out and i cant get my fingers in there to pull it out. im almost ready to break the bulb and just pull it out that way.

You probably have the same mirror i have. i literally had to take the mirror off, bring it in the house, break the bulbs out and use tweezers to pull the parts out. after i finally got them out my new L.E.D. ones slid in perfect

yea that's what i finally did, just take the whole mirror off and bring it inside. i sat there wiggling it though for quite some time with these little pliers and they finally came out.

That is what i did with my mirrors, i had to break the bulbs with needle nose plyers and then pull the rest of the bulb out.
