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.

same R&I procedure on LCI cars?
i just tried removing mine and they seem on be on there TIGHT - but its possible i was just afriad if i pushed any harder i would break the housing

What is the bulb # of the side marker light for the E60? Is it 194 or 906? Also, to verify, to remove the cover, slide it forward towards front to pop out?
