How do I remove my rear side reflectors?

[LaserRed5.0]

I am trying to remove both of my rear side relectors so I can VHT the,. Can i get it off through the trunk or do I have to remove the rear bumper? I haven't really looked at it so I am just kind of guessing right now. I just don't think it's really worth removing the bumper for them.

Thanks.

you have to remove the bumper.

i think you might be able to do it just getting behind the buper.

you have to drop the bumper to get in there, like Javi said.
there's 2 nuts on the back of the reflector.

or...you could spin out on the ice and smack a jersey-wall on a bridge with your back bumper like I did this past winter.

this is what they look like:

I really think you be better of just taping everything around it and be as careful as you can, if you dont want to deal with taking the bumper off.

You can smack it with a 2x4 trying to pull up on it jacking the car up... that was just the lense. OR... drop the bumper. But I would just tape it all off and VHT it on the car.

Plus, if you have FAT tires youll have to take them off, like i did when i took my bumper off. :sad:

When I bought my car it was missing one. I believe the pass side? I had it replaced @ the body shop where my cousin works. I remember it looking harder than I thought it would be. They left my rear bumper on, though! They may have loosened it so they could unscrew it, never took it off though. That's as much as I can remember!

interesting...i have the clear ones on my car now. dude before me put them, but i've had these off and they just pop off, don't go through the bumper.

Funny thing is When I knocked the left one out I got another one from my buddies stock bumper (he had a Saleen kit on his) and just popped it in. I just left the nuts off of the back. Been that way for a month now with no issues.

Well it CAN be done without taking off your bumper it is a royal PITA though, and you will have some sore hands for sure, but i think its alot easier and faster than dropping the bumper. You just need a small wrench and some patience lol

I have a set of clears and they didn't come with bolts attached. I never put then on but i figured they just glued or double sided tape or something.
