E36 - removing license plate light covers?

[Brendon <brendonm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Folks:
I googled the list archives and the Unofficial E36 site but couldn't find 
an answer.

My license plate light(s?) have gone out according to my OBC readout.
But how do you remove the plastic covers? Looks like there's spongy connective
material on the black portion; the enclosures don't slide in any direction.
So I assume I need to use a razor blade, wedge it between the clear
plastic and black area to pop it to the left (like the car manual says -- wish
it had picture showing you how to do this).

I know probably making this harder than it is....

TIA,
-Brendon
