:unsure: :blink: How do i install replacement bulb for sidemarker on 2004 530i?

GQuK545i 04-09-2008 11:57 PM

This is what I do.

The sidemarker is like a slide in clip

The sidemarker would have to be push/slide gently,

to the direction of the front of the car and when uncliped

or lose enough to come out, I pull it out

then I take out the old bulb and replace it with the

new bulb of choice.

Hope this helps, remember this is what I do. So try at your own risk.

It's a very straight forward install, just push forward to depress the clip and pull it right out :)

I'd also recommend our V2 Sidemarker Bulbs if you want a xenon white or amber LED replacement.
