But I searched and didn't find an answer. I am just now getting around to putting the orange bulb covers on the lamps, but I can't figure out how to remove the bulbs. It looks like they just press in, but before I wrap a pair of pliers around one and yank (and probably regret that action forever), I thought I'd double check.

Thanks in advance.

They pull out. I use pliers with the jaws wrapped in gaffers tape.

If you push on the bulb holder and give it a slight side load they will pop right out. I can email you a pic if you want.

Thanks Ron. Sure Jon, if you have a photo handy that would be great.

Put a load on the side of the bulb holder as indicated.

Thanks gentlemen, the bulbs snapped out with no tools required, and now my gauges glow with that BMW orange-y goodness :)
