There are clips holding it on the left side and the right side, BE VERY CAREFUL when you take it off.. 99.99 percent of them break when you try and take it off because the plastic clips are so dried out.

Heck! The WHOLE housing dries out!! I sourced others because of how brittle the original was...came apart in several pieces. I'm on my third brake light housing now!

The replacements were just as brittle...right now I have clear packing tape holding everything together!

Well, I guess I fell into the 99.99 percent category. Both my clips broke. It seems to stay together without them though.

yeah it happened to me with my last 300E and my friends and many people on here. It's all good though lol...

It might keep falling off every time you brake so if you want, you can put a little bit of tape where the clips held onto the housing and it'll be reinforced and won't budge.
