Was this the post you looked at for the instructions on how to swap out the side markers?

http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...-swap-diy.html

It's really a pain in the butt to get to the side markers. Mainly going through the removed air ducts (pretty sure 35d are the same set-up) and jamming your hand in there with a screw driver to pry it off is what you need to do. Pry and apply pressure from the outside pushing in on the side markers. They are stuck on with VERY adhesive tape. Just make sure your screwdriver isn't too sharp, you won't want to make any marks from the inside to the outside of the car.

Don't give up. It's a worthwhile mod.

I'm getting the Aero Kit installed this weekend. Unfortunately, I have not done the side marker mod yet. Does anyone know if the front side skirts of the aero kit make it more difficult to remove the front bumper area to get at the side marker on one side? (I know one side is accessible without removing the front section of the bumper.)

Does the reflector still have any reflectivity with the tint on it? That was a Great idea and I might have to copy off of you on that one!
Thanks for sharing!
You're WELCOME bro'. No more useful reflectivity.

The Right side is no problem, however I recommend for you to do the side marker mod first before the aero kit if your gonna do it eventually down the road. The Left side is pretty tight and i had to loosen the bumper to install it properly.

Those are the replica 215's, right? You can tell they're replica's by their finish.

Damn. I was afraid of that. The car goes to the dealer tonight and I have not yet placed the order for the reflectors....
