Default Side reflectors

Does anyone know how or has ever removed the stock side relfectors on the back bumper.I had purchased new black/smoked ones and might try to replace them tomorrow, I just don't want to mess my paint job up that's around them.

Thanks in advance.

not hard to do, just hard to get to. There are two plastic 8mm or 10mm nuts on the back side ofeach marker that hold it to the bumper. I had to use a wrench most of the time to access them, but once you get a turn or two out of them they spin right off. Hardest part is snaking your hand up between the bumper and gas tank/ body of car/ plastic / everything else. Paint job should be fine, if u feel better put some tape around the edges to prevent knicks.

So I just go from underneath the bumper?

Are there any pins or anything holding it on?

yeah, i wasable to snake my way up from under the car. Its just twobolts attached to the reflector that are inserted through the bumper and secured on the other side by two little nuts, no clips or pins or tape to worry about.
