You can replace the cover, so surely it is removable??

Ive got this. might get some smoked side repeaters to replace mine.

Does the cover come off to replace the bulb? I thought they were sealed units with a 90 degree twist action bulb holder?

I had this and took it back to BMW under the 3 year warranty they replaced them FOC

Oh crap, I guess I could have done that... I'm also getting peeling lacquer around my centre caps which I realise could have been looked at by them

Just a thought, I've found how to remove them, is there a small gap where I could squirt steam or soak them in something to remove this? Or is it pretty much sealed in?
