You'll see where the screwdriver fits. It's a small slot. The light just pops out. Unplug harness, plug new one in.

Just in case anyone is interested in a youtube DIY on how to replace the license plate light.

i've got the first ones in my e70, i dont think there is much difference between either of those..they look like they are both using a similar LED setup..

during the day you can sort of see the rings glow but they arn't that bright..

at night time they look quite decent.

Thanks Bren, have you heard of any better options?

(other than the OEM Bi-Xenons of course)

thanks

My car has bi-xenons, the ae's run off a separate globe.

the other options is to use an actual HID hit. They should be widely available considering it is a standard H8 globe fitment. (I believe some of the other members are running a similar setups)

The only issue is that it is a very tight space to get your hands in there to fit the globe. As for the harness I made a very small slit in the side of the covers of the head lights so that I could still close the enclosure and mount the harness elsewhere. I would do something similar if I was running a HID kit..
