Recently did mine and a plastic tool was enough to prize the little out! No damage and a quick swap! |

If you prise the black side panel off, you can push the light and surround out.

I bought a set of trim removal tools - there were about 11 in total for less than a tenner - in preparation for the deployable side step installation, I've got to say they are definitely a good buy for any job that requires trim removal. Did the whole job without even damaging a single clip! |

Does the side panel come off easy enough? |

it has three clips holding it in, roughly at the pointy bits! I always found the middle popped the easiest, if your worried about the wood / black trim cover the edge with some masking tape... but I never marked mine the 5 / 6 times it was removed Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

Success ! Popped off side trims and replaced bulbs without taking the 'rounds' out .... Very tight on passenger side though because of cup holder mechanism.

Did it on mine and I those spot lights were really firmly in place so had to remove the end trim to get to them.

As Said bwfore Remove the side trim then get your hand in and unclip the clips that hold it in, if you try from the out side you risk damaging the wood or risk breaking the clips . |
