Removing the number plate late

Post by mas123 » Fri Aug 12, 2011 6:26 pm

Hi,

I have a X5 2003 and I need to replace a number plate light. Does anyone know how I take out the number plate light to replace the blub?

Easy job........even for me :)

Place small flat bladed screwdriver into end of lamp with small slot recess & lever sideways to pop it out........then change the bulb.

Just looking at it you can see this is the correct method.

Directions are in the owners handbook/manual too, ( I just checked mine to see if it was in there for you).

Do you have a handbook/manual ?
