Don't mock, but I just bought me some "snazzy" blue LED's that I intended fitting in the puddle lights in the doors, but I'm b@ggered if I can work out how to access the existing festoon bulb.
I've tried sliding one way then the other, I've tried gentle prising but am now resigned to removing the door card.
Do any of you fine folks have any clues?

on the top and bottom the is a little nick put small screw driver in that and pull down with fingers should pop out.

Thanks for the tip Samesame. I'll give that a go tonight and let you know if I was successful.

If I dont like the blue lights however, I'll put the originals back in.

plastic cover pops out without door card removal, as mentioned small flat head screw driver in the the 'nick' at the end and it will pop straight out.

Thanks to all for their tips & advice.

Job is now done.

It took a little longer than originally anticipated. I blew the circuit fuse whislt changing the bulbs and discovered that I had a dodgy bulb as well.

I ended up putting the lens covers back on with a dab of glue on each end as I couldn't get them to "click" back into place.

Still, pleased with the results although I'm now left with a worrying thought - does that now make me officially "gay"

??
