Removing and Reinstalling Side Turn Signal

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Side marker light

To remove the side turn signal, gently push the signal forward and insert the tip of a flat screwdriver into the back (at nine o'clock) until you hear the clip snap and the signal disengage. Rotate the signal 90 degrees to release the connector and disconnect it. Turn the socket counterclockwise to remove it from the rest of the signal and replace the bulb. If you want to give your BMW a new look by installing a smoke-colored signal, use a bulb with a chrome effect so it appears invisible inside the signal. Good luck.
