Yes the metal shroud around the bulb just drops out.
But you have to use a thin knife or stanley blade to ease it out.

Mine came out very easily once you get a blade in there

Not sure what you mean, mine went in fine and not sure how you would drain a battery from 2 small led's!
The bulb fits into a metal connector and shouldn't come out once installed, then you put the metal shroud over it then snap in the lens cover

It was a 30 second job

cheap LED bulbs, they wouldn't go in with my fat ass thumbs + bulb was wider than shroud opening...had to put in the bulb w/ metal shroud already on it in one shot (couldn't see what i was doing). Bat died i think b/c im stupid and had the dome light switch all the way up or something. it was kinda haphazardly done...
