2013 Fog Bezel Removal - Stumped...

looking to fit some Ring Xenon Ultimates to the head lights and fog but I can't for the life of me remove the fog bezel. N the manual it says "using a suitable implement, lever the surround"

I used a flat head driver to pop it out and also tried pulling from the top.

What on earth am I missing here?

Will post comparison pics btw[/list]

Look closely around where the bezel touches the glass of the fog light, should be a gap about 4mm at one point, lever out whith a flat blade screwdriver.

Nothing, you've just got to pull, pull like hell, you'll fall backwards (suggest wearing a bike helmet) and the thing will catapult out and land in next doors garden.
You'll think you've broken something, but you won't (apart from maybe a few bones).
Apart from that, it's dead easy. Thumbs Up

Might be an idea to spray some WD40 behind the unit.

Think it's good that they don't come off easy, the Disco ones come off in your hand, they have been known to fall off in quiet car parks
