Would like to do this on my 2005 Z4 2.5, but don't know what kind of bulbs and how many I'll need. Haven't decided on the color yet, but was thinking about some kind of cool blue or cool red. I ahven't looked at where the bulbs are placed, but I would think it should a straignt forward replacement, eh? Where would I look for replacement lights?

I've popped the footwell light housing (#63316962009) out of its opening but I can't open it to get to the bulb. Not sure how to get black cover off to get to the bulb (#63217160797). There are clips on either side and I don't know how to manipulate them to lift the cover off. I want to replace the bulb with a colored one, maybe reddish or bluish, and would also like to know where I can look for these colored bulbs?
