There's a bolt head on the backside you have to remove. And yes, they light up with the parking lights... And yes, there'll be a spot there if you remove it.

Well, the bBs you are looking at probably either have bodykits on them that eliminated the markers, or it's a USDM thing...

it's a USDM thing. There are options available. The topic's been beat to sh*t already, so I'll just leave it at that.

its there so you dont get hit because you dont have any light/reflector there. dont break it though its a 45 dollar part its a sealed LED.

i wouldnt remove it if you have an **** State inspection that checks for reflectors and stuff. when i was a state inspector in NY i had to fail some BMW's that were missing them.

Dam that sucks, we don't have those kinds of inspections here in cali. Just the most horrible smog inspection in the nation. :sad:
