Default Bi-Xenon sidelight removal

I had a quick look at removing the sidelights from the rear of the headlight but it kind of looked like that the bulb should be removed from the front.

So can someone enlighten me for sure

Default Sidelights

To change the sidelight bulb, you unclip the plastic black cover.

The holder that holds the sidelight bulb has clips on the side that keep in place...so just squeeze on these and pull the holder will come out with the bulb.
