I just got some led lights and want to make them a bit brighter, so I notice there's a black tab in there that shades part of the lens. Anyone know how to remove the black tab inside the license plate light housing. This is on an O5' 545i.

Grab a flat screwdriver. Press on the tab and push them inside all they come out easily.
