Replacing Side Marker Bulbs?? just pop off?
wondering if i can just pop out my side markers from the outside to replace the bulbs or if i need to take off the inside door panel and some sort of screws? any suggestions on the easiest way to the bulb. are they standard small wedge bulbs? thanks a lot!

so whats the trick to not breaking the plastic tabs??
start from one side or the other?? top or bottom?? now im scared because i obviously dont want to drive around with side markers hanging out.
i can't find instructions on changing light housings on this car anywhere. seems sad since this is basically the a4 body.

i started from one side, if you are looking at it, start on the right side... wedge out very slow..
it depends really on how old the plasitc is i guess, its quite fragile.. dont worry if it brakes, you can always go rice, and double side tape it.. or you can glue the broken piece back together with supergllue,..
just go for it.. 16$ is the most youll pay to replace..
