Got tired of the candy red rear side bumper reflectors so I grabbed a set of DEPO diamond crystal smoked units. Install was fairly easy. I started by removing the trunk panels completely to gain access to the 4 nuts (2 on each side) that secure the sides of the bumper to the car. I removed those 4 bolts. Now to the outside of the car. I removed 4 Philips head screws from the bumper. They are located right behind the rear tires directly on the bumper edge curve (2 on each side). I removed 2 push-in clips from the bottom of the rear bumper curve on the drivers side using a clip removal tool. I removed one push-in clip and a vent tube clip from the passenger side of the lower bumper curve. I was then able to pull the sides of the rear bumper out just enough to gain access to the back of the rear bumper reflectors. Two 10mm bottle cap type nuts attach the reflectors to the bumper. I removed those and voila, the reflector fell out. The new DEPO units just slide in and snap to attach securely. No nuts required. Figured I'd walk thru the install for those looking to replace or smoke them properly without damaging the bumper or getting over spray on them. Here's a pic; I think they look awesome. Excuse the dust!
