Best way to remove side marker

[Engz]

Hey guys.. Sorry if this thread is a repost. I have searched numerous times and couldn't come up with the result and it's not on the E53 guide.

I never really had to removed a side marker before. Never owned a car that had them. But I usually use a nylon thread to remove badges. Would this be an effective way of doing this?

Also, what color bulb is in the sidemarker? Clear or amber? I'm 1 hour away from the nearest parts store. I would love to save time and get this done.

I'm asking because I'm replacing all my lights and removing all the amber.

Thanks
