Why not just take the bulbs out?

dude i've spent 3hours to seal the sockets. I really dont want to make this process again unless i really have to. I thought it would be easier if someone already had a picture.

Whoa.......maybe your cars are different in this area than the US?
Can you take a pic? Especially of this area that you are sealing up.
While ours are a bitch to get to, you sinply rotate the plastic socket(it's real long)
and pull it out of the housing, this then allows you to just unplug the bulb or led.

please! you dont understand, i first bought bulbs from rx8strakes, which later turned out to be wrong bulbs. They are to big for the rx8. But i didn't know that, i thougt i done something wrong. So i spent many houres in totalt to get this fixed with new bulbs. And its look like i been fighting with 10 cats, my hands are scraped everywhere.

Please dont post questions like this. Its simple, if you have a picture then post. If you dont, please leave this thread.

Looks primarily. There might be some federal regulations for them as well.
