Mine were very tight too.
I ended up putting slight pressure on the wires and the passenger side popped out.
The drivers one I removed my fuel filter housing (diesel) and used some pliers.
I applied Vaseline to both holders to help if required again.

Fitted mine this morning and they worked perfectly, such an easy item to fit especially after the Clio. Anyone got a link to the error free bulbs for the number plate lights as I want LEDs for those now.

Is yours an 09 car?
Just wondered as mines 59 plate and I've tried some error free lamps from eBay already and they didn't work.
People say that pre 2010 can't use led number plate lamps.
Just checking before I take the plunge.
