or

+1. This happened to my previous E39 a number of time. I suspect the same will be with the E60

i tried to remove the bulb from the LCI tails i have, and its IMPOSSIBLE. They dont come out, the only one that does pop out is the reverse light bulb, the others are glued tight. How is everyone getting them out, i feel like ill break or crack them if i pull harder.

I would think the socket is a spring loaded one and you would push it down before you twist the bulb!

Good Luck!

If you replaced the original taillights, that could be the cause. I know when I replaced my license plate bulbs with the ones I bought from Trinity, I got an error with one of them and it worked perfectly.
