Tips on installing black rear reflector replacements?
I bought the replacements, but I can't seem to get the old one's out. I tried following IND's instructions on removing the entire black trim piece, but for the life of me, I can't get the second clip (the higher one) to come loose.
Any tips? |

Why not just destroy the clip and advance?

I will have a DIY out on this shortly, but the short version is... BREAK THEM. I didnt find any reasonable way to get the rears off, without removing the rear bumper.

I used a longer flat head screwdriver and was able to release both tabs that are referenced in the IND installation video. Wasn’t easy but there wasn’t a need to break them either….
