23 license plate bulbs

[jobsi50]

So the 23 lenses are different not just release the tab on the right and they drop down like the older ones.
In the pic I release the tab on the right and that only released that side everything else is still attached and will not release any more pressure I put and feels like it’s gonna snap. Does anyone know the trick for these ?

Congrats and welcome to the forum.

Thank you

so when I push the clip in on the right side and it releases I than try to pull down the rest of the lens and it will not come down I put enough pressure on it where it felt like the lens was going to snap. There is something else holding the lens up but I do not see any other clips. I tried on both lenses and it’s the same. I know the older models it was just the clip on the right and it came down.

I can't find anything else out there on the removal, sorry. Maybe someone else with a '23 or newer will chime in.

Did anyone find out how to get these off?? Ran into that same problem, don't want to apply to much pressure, feel that plastic is going to crack or something.

Welcome to the forum. If you look at the pic in post #2, you will see there is a bulge on the opposite side of the release. Once you push in the tab and release it, you have to pull that side all the way out and the other side is free.

Thank you! I was confused myself on why it wasn't coming out. I'm guessing by the pictures you pushed that metal tab up and bent it enough to then slide the light assembly out?

Yes, that is exactly what I had to do, I don't know why its designed that way but yes, I had to apply enough pressure to push that metal tab up and bend it enough to slide out.
