What side light bulbs would you recommend to go with Osram nightbreakers

Thought i would provide some clarity on the rear light issue. this is from a 2010 car.
First remove the two torx screws on the outside edge (T25 ideally, but a flat blade can be used in these screws too)

Image

This is interior. the thumb screw cant be reached without moving the carpet trim.

Image

I removed the flat bladed screw, but might not be necessary. if you ease back the boot seal you can see the edge of the carpet to make it easier to pull down

Image

This (right hand on left hand of car) is how far your hand needs to be in to reach the thumb screw

Image

the threads are quite long, but be careful not to drop it

Image

The unit can now be pulled out (towards the rear of the car). Two pegs on the outside of the light are in rubber locators.
Squeeze the clip on the cable socket and pull apart

Image

The bulb holder is removed with a squeeze of two clips

With the bulb holder free, you can remove the bulb. This bulb is removed by pulling it out, I'll show you what part pulls away from what.

Image

If that's still unclear what pull away from what, read on. It may become more clear as we install the new bulb.
Is there a trick to get them apart? Mine is stuck, and I dont want to use force to do it. Any help would be much appreciated

Best regards

I'm having this problem too, so any help would also be much appreciated. I've tried pulling the bulb out but it's not budging! Is there an extra clip or something or does it just need some force?

By the way I managed to get access to the dipped beam H7 bulb without needing to take the headlamp out.

Cheers,
Mark
