Glove box and Cup holder lights

Hey everyone! This is my first post here, i'll try to make an introductory one later. My F150 is my first vehicle, although I cannot drive yet I am already starting to make it my own.

I want to do an LED upgrade, I already have the dome/map and door lights done. I went with red door lights and a red dome light with everything else white. I bought these lights cheap off of ebay so I have quite a few now.

I was wondering how do you get the glove box light out? I can not get my fingers in there or a pair of pliers.

Also the cup holder light, mine does not come out in one of the actual spaces for a cup, it is in between them covered by the plastic center, is there something to remove to get light to come trough?

Thanks for any help you can provide. I look forward to a long good future here!

On mine I twisted the plastic light holder counter clockwise and removed the plug from the back of the cup holder. You have to remove the cup holder from the dash first and you can see the wire/plug on the rear of the cup holder. Then I pulled the light bulb straight out. It is a B37 small bulb. Had to rock it back and forth to get the bulb out but it came out. Did this last night in fact.

Thanks! Where does the light in the cup holder shine through? Is your light exposed or does it shine through holes. In mine you can't even see the light shinning.

Kind of reflects off the plastic, not supposed to actually see the bulb for night-time driving safety purposes.

Also I think I have the wiring diagram for that someplace, maybe post it tonight after work.
