Pretty sure you can just wrap a small screw driver in cloth and put it under it to pop it out.

Or you can remove the plastic inner mud guard and access it that way..

You push it one way and it allows the clip that holds it in to come out of the hole,

I just tried it on my GU1 and on mine you push the assembly forward and then pull the back end out, I guess it depends on which way they are installed.

Cheers,
Eric.

Yeh probably I just wanted to make sure that was the right way, I didn't wanna break anything, I've never had to deal with these in the past. So the. It should just pop out ??

Ok I've changed globes with LED but the indicator in question still is not working. Can some1 give me a brief run down on how the wiring is run if they know ? I mean I was thinking that each indicator on a side is connected somehow and in my case all other indicators r working just not the little one in front quarter panel near door, so wat could b cuz ing it not 2 work? Or get power to that 1 in particular ???

Have you checked if it has power at the assembly. If so, it may just be dirty contacts where the bulb fits.
A couple of days back I had a brake light that was out. Turned out just to be dirty contact point.

Hey sorry guys , been really busy I just got a new job recently , I had been outta work for months, well It's not sorted yet haven't really had much time to do it I did get new led globes but only to discover it not the prob, there must b a prob with wiring so where but I have no idea where to start , what circuit the wiring is on or anything just yet. My new job is pretty full on ATM so just haven't had the time yet to go over car from head to bottom. I was tracing some wiring back from my rear wiper, followed it right throught from end to end so mayb I've done something there , I guess this should b my first place to look, but I don't see how I have done anything there as it was all in a loom and no connection just wires straight through....... Any ideas????
