There should be a little opening in the housing. According to the manual you can just stick the screw driver in that slot and push it out. What I do on my 3 series is insert the screw driver from the side (there's a small slab of plastic that's attached to the trunk) and just push it horizontally and it will just pop out (do not pry it out as it will snap).

There will be slot on the left hand side that will take a flat head screwdriver. Push the light to right and then downwards and then the left side will pop out. Then wiggle out the right side.

As stated, it's in your manual....here's a link to the 2008 e60 manual (it's the same for previous years)

Page 239...

Insert the flat head screw driver into the slot on the left and slide right. The left side of the housing will pop out (side with the flat head screw driver in it). Once that is done, maneuver the rest of the light housing out....GL
