Audi Beam Rings installation
Today I got a set of Audi Beam Rings puddle lights. I had a heck of a time getting the old ones out and finally had to break them in order to get them out of the door. I tried several sizes of flat screw drivers and other flat tools and nothing could fit in and pry them out. Has anyone had any luck getting them out without breaking them? what's the trick?

I don't recall if I'm honest, once you get the proper side it's really easy. I almost broke one doing the same thing as you. Just give the other side a try gently? Can't be worse than what's happening now.

it is definitely not the other side because that is the side with the wiring which cannot tilt down due to the plug sticking out.

I busted the passenger side. Driver side popped right out. Other one took ten minutes of prying then exploded in the door. Make sure you fish out all the pieces if it does that or you'll have some noise added to your drive.

I just did mine. You need a tool that has a hook shape tip. Not sure what it's called but looks like a dentist is tool. That will pull it down enough to get a flat head to assist better.
On my Canadian spec you need to pull down the side of the light facing forward towards the engine.
