Looks like they're just pushed in. Pull the bulb? Or does it interfere with the central locking?

no they are just pushed in but with a plastic housing

the way to remove it is unclip the retaining clips and pull out (according to my haynes)

but it didnt quite work like that

i will go scrap yard in the morning, get a new switch and housing

than its a case of getting the wire from inside, it shud be fixable

then im ripping the stupid alarm out that im trying to fit, causing more problems than its worth

you can see the dull white section ? that seems to be the housing for the black pin switch
and the white bit at the bottom is the bit that connects to the car wire loom
so all i need is 1 of these, shud be an easy fix once i manage to get the wire out the tiny hole it sits in

in the hard frost i noticed that the switch for the drivers door didnt really register itself as open, so i didnt get the normal welcoming light of the puddle lights.

worth changing it then,

just dont do what i did and force the bugger out,

but ive seen them in a d8 they are mounted to where the door bolts into place, in a d9 i think they must be part of the door latch because they are quite invisible, that quirk just happened once whatever way the frost froze it.
