Just push them gently towards the front of the car and then pull them out at an angle by gripping at the back of the light, this clears the tab that holds them in.

Ive just changed mine over, they come off really easy you just need to jiggle it untill it pops out, and the bulb and holder fit straight into the new cover

What everyone else said. However, if you have an owners manual, it'll be in there plain and simple. With pics too!

Hmmmm an idea for another "how to" thread, albeit a fast and simple one! LOL!

Thanks guys, had a look last night. They came out very very easily by hand. Piece of cake to swap over. : Cheers.

Great Idea about the "How To" section, how can we put it in for future use. I'm sure the question will come up again.
