How to Change Plate Lights?

Need some help here from people who have change out the license plate lights. I cannot get the housing to move. Follow the manual to insert the flat screwdriver into the left hole, pushed it left, right, up and down pretty hard; the housing didn’t move a bit. I’ve already changed the Cayenne and 911, they were quite easy to do. Any trick on the Panamera?

I just did mine. Do not pry through the slot, pry at the outside edge next to the slot, wrap a piece of cloth on a flat blade screw driver, the first one took a while, but the second was really easy, now I can pop one out in seconds.

Thanks TGED, the manual show to insert the screwdriver into the slot, but you pry on the outside of the black housing?

I did the same as TGED. It took me 2 flat head screw drivers to get the housing open. One from the side of the housing and into the hole. Be careful, I almost broke the plastic.

I only needed one screw driver. Just pry from the edge of the housing, and pry hard, it won't break that easily. Now I am able to repeatedly pop the housing out in seconds. Since the Suncoast LEDs bulbs gave me error codes, I needed to swap different bulbs to do some testing.
