there is a spring type thing holding them in place

take off the rubber dust cover, then pull the connector off, you then have to relese the springy thing

yes springy thing is a technical term

How funny, I also exchange my bulbs for blue ones from ebay, 30% more light apparently - and now I am also searching for a replacement for this bloody ugly yellow little parking light! I took it out for the moment, till I find a blue one!

All the best, Nadine

are you sure that theyre HID's, i thought that HID lamps were a sealed unit replacement type thing, a lot of the aftermarket type ones use the letters on the packaging but theyre not , HID is "high itensity discharge" which i think cost a cpl of hundred quid to put in, still i swapped my bulbs and didnt notice a difference, put purple ones in and they look the same to me, , but then again im colour blind.................d'oh
