I''m trying to remove my side indicator repeators and replace them with clear ones, however the haynes manual doesn't tell you how to remove them, it just tells you how to change the bulb which doesnt suprise me as it's such a small thing.

Does it just pop out? I have a feeling it does, but didn't want to force it and damage my wong or something.

Thanks in advance.

My ones have a tab each side the you push together, you put you hand up the inside of the arch and just squeeze together, it then just pushes out.

Ive just put some new ones in my mini as was having the same troubles. I ended up cutting a bit of the plastic on the tab off with a stanley knife, so the back would squeeze in more, took a lot of pushing but got them in in the end! :P

well my idea was to sand down the side that wont go in properly ever so slightly, put some vaseline on it and give it a go :(
