Can't get the old one out.
Car is sitting on the driveway in Noonish Sun, in SoCal, and it's 97°F.
It won't come out. It's bigger than the hole in the trunk.
It expanded and the edges of the hole sheared the lens off. The housing won't fit through.

Interesting. Could it maybe be sitting too far back into the hole?
You can create a
mycarfax.com account for free. Add each of your vehicles by VIN. Then you can access their service history.
I was able to get a bit more detailed service history on my car by calling one the of the BMW dealers that had serviced it in the past (listed on the MyCarFax service history). That dealer emailed me a copy of the service history. Now, at least I have a better idea on what work was done on the car. Though, there is a significant gap in that history. Hopefully, it really was serviced during that time at least for an oil change.
