How to change rear plate light?

[theodoros]

hey guys..
I just got a set of those LED replacement units for the rear number plate bulbs and I want to try them on the CSL.. Please note, that I am not talking about the complete LED Light module with the wiring from the latest 3 series model, I am refering to the LED replacement units that fit in the place of the old yellowish bulbs..

I have seen the instructions in the handbook, regarding inserting a FLATHEAD screwdriver in the slot and then sliding the Light Module to the left, and I have tried it but without any luck.. Am I doing something wrong?.. or am I too gentle with it?..

I would appreciate any detailed instructions on how to do this..

Many thanks for your time,

No, that's the way to do it right enough. Slide it to the Right though and try to get something plastic but firm under the left side of it, and prise it out. I worry loads about the screwdriver slipping and scoring the bootlid but iirc, that was how I done it.

Did mine today using OEM parts... all for a reasonable price of £20 :thumbs:THANX to Mark CSL for making this an easy conversion :beer:
One word or caution though, the E90 LED light units have a thicker then the E46 weather seal which makes it near impossible :banghead: to clip the NEW light units into the plastic CSL boot lid cut outs. In the end I had to use a surgical blade to reduce the thickness of the weather seal by half, before it would fit... just.
