Items Needed:
1) Small flat head screwdriver
2) 12961 LED Bulbs


Step 1 - Use the small flat-head and push back the clip and lift at the same time.




Step 1-B - If you have a hard time lifting it up, you can use a dull butter knife after pushing the clip in.



Step 2 - Remove the bulb housing.



Step 3 - Twist and remove the bulb from the housing.




Step 4 - Remove the old bulb and replace it with the new one.



Old bulb compared to the new LED Bulb.




Final Results.

One weird question as im looking forward this mod but maybe using side panel type led

Is the socket vertical or horizontal when installed
If horizontal can it be flipped 180 degrees

No problem, glad you guys find it useful.

mYsTiCfAc3, the socket sits horizontal when installed, but its not flippable because there is a little groove for the clip.

See this picture

Tripod with remote lol. Makes taking pictures so much easier.
