Side repeater light removal??

Just wondered if anyone has removed their side repeaters on f10/11.
And if so, is it just a case of sliding them foward and pulling them free, like on the E90?

Thanks.

I managed to break one of the clips on the back of the Chrome ones when removing them.

Has anyone got a link to some good quality replacements for the chrome, always thought that the chrome looks a little out of place.

Cheers

Yup.. i learnt the hardway. Scratched my bootlid whilst using a small flathead screwdriver, it was only sheer laziness because i had all the plastic panel/clip removal tools in the shed

Just get them wrapped, or do it yourself... I had mine done along with the chrome insert in the handles. Looks great and has held up well so far, been on there for around a year so far
