Steps:

Use TORX T25 unlock bolts

Pull out plastic plate

Unplug the wire,

Clips part-nr A 000 991 90 98

Pull out the other plate

Clips part-nr A 000 991 89 98

Push down all the clips

If you think above steps is to much work you could skip the first steps and start from here, but be really careful so you don’t brake anything. The clips sits really thigh that’s why I prefer removing the liner and push out the clips from inside. If you have halogen bulbs you don’t need to remove the plastic cover and the housing, you could change the bulb from the inside.

 

Use a DIY pulling hook to hook plate out
