How do you remove the brake light in the upper half of the 3 series BMW...325 in perticular...2003. I got the cover off no problem. Now I'm having trouble removing the actual brake light. I don't usually remove it, but I'm detinting/retinting, and the last guy tinted up there.

on each side, there are 2 black tabs, slide them twards the doors/outside of the car, and it will drop right down

Long time no see Ryan, been busy icon_confused.gif

i thought they might have something to do with it...but I'm really pushing hard and nothings happening...so I figured I'd check b4 I break them...lol.
I've been good. Business has been pretty good...I'm more busy with my wife's pregnancy though.
Thanks for the tip.

lol...yea, it wasn't budging with the strength in my fingers...i was pushing those tabs HARD...so i used the leverage of a flat head screw driver and they popped right off. Thanks so much. Was easy putting back together afterwards, and now I know incase I ever need to do it again.

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
