Map Light Install Issue

So I got my LED bulbs in today.. great, right?

Well, i think I've messed up. First, I got it installed and it came on fine (driver's side). But then I realized the bulb was too wide (the glass part) and the silver reflector inside wouldn't fit around it. I apparently pushed too hard and the connector moved up inside. I was able to pull them back down, but now no bulb (factory or LED) will work in it.

1) What have I done and how can i fix it?
2) If i do get it working again, can I just leave the reflector out?

 

@Sean266 i can't figure out pics but I have a couple posted at tundratalk.net. Posted a similar forum over there same time tonight.

And checked the fuse it's good

 

You may have separated/widened the connector. I did the same thing. Used a small jewellers' screwdriver to re-shape/re-position the connector to get a good contact again. A definite PITA.

 

Gonna give it a go today, this changing interior bulbs thing got out of hand quick

 

Finally got them all installed, much easier in the light and after knowing what I was doing. The one I originally messed up had to be reshaped (connectors) with some tiny pliers and it's not holding real tight but working for now.

Thanks for the help!!

 

I was able to get connectors back to normal. The metal was very pliable. (Kind of cheesy actually). That's why it was so easy to fix.

 

Everything's been great with the lights I'll upload a pic tonight. SO BRIGHT. Best low $ upgrade possible.

 

Did blow a fuse randomly though, had to replace a 7.5
