    Removing number plate bulbs .....?

    So I recently bought a set of led bulbs for the m5 ... Did the two in the boot first but looking at the number plate ones they seem tricky ...

    Is there a knack to them ... There doesn't seem to be any play in them at all to pop them out ... There is a slot to one side that looks like ha would put a flat head in but I can't be sure

    Can anyone point me in the direction of how to remove these effectively as to my mind Iam a dead cert to break them to bits ??

    HELP!!

    I actually saw that video this morning ... Seems simple enough .

    I can't help but feel this will still end up in me buying two new holders lol

    Lol, just take time and pay attention to the movement required, its not an up and in job. 3 steps like the E92. Release the clip using something flat into the slot, that'll give you the play you need to release the right side of the holder, then the left side will come out (loom side).
