I'm trying to put 47 bulbs back into the backglass of my World Fair. The hotspots of leds on the match numbers across the top looks terrible. I cannot for the life of me get the 47s back in because my fingers are just too big for this recessed area. I got the leds out with this tool but it just doesn't work to put 47s back in. The bulbs are too thin and the tool just spins. I've try both end of this tool. I tried cutting the thin end to make it a little bigger. I've managed to replace only 2 bulbs out of 10. Is there a tool that actually works for this? Open to suggestions, homemade or store bought. Thank you.

Quoted from fatality83:

go to lowes and get some rubber tubing that matches the bulb size.

Excellent idea, thanks.

I’ve used shooter rubber tips before.

The shooter tip did the trick. Done! Replaced the whole row in about a minute after struggling with this all morning. So simple! Thanks guys.
