Question how to change turn signal bulb on '01 325cic?

Having a dickens of a time figuring out how to change a right turn signal bulb on my '01 325cic. Manual make sit look simple but I can't see how to do it. Manual says to use a screwdriver to pop some clip and then remove the plastic lens over the bulb. While I think I see what clip they're referring to it's not cooperating and I feel like I'm gonna break something. Any clues? Especially with a picture?

The thing you are looking for is almost straight down and will feel 'springy' if it don't, don't force it...you'll feel it give some resistance and then sort of push towards the front of the car and it should slide out...but check out www.bimmian.com and look for 'installs' I think they have a video DIY for replacing all bulbs...

I got it. The previous reply was a big help and I think the secret was I needed to push down on something that was 2 - 2 1/2 inches inside the whole. That was below where I was trying. Thx!
