Default Side Bumper Reflectors

m trying to put in my smoked reflectors on the back bumper, but i can't get the stock ones out. I went through the trunk and found a little slit that you can feel the reflector and i try to push them out with a screw driver, but I push and all it does is push the panel out with the light. Any help on getting them out would be much appreciated.[/align]

There are twotabs right behind the rear tires underneath on both sides, get them out just pull the front of the rear bumper off thats what I did. . . Might be some screws in the trunk too, behind the carpet. 2 for each side.

Behind the bumper, there are two nuts that hold it in. I believe they are 10mm. The easiest way to get to them is going up underneath from the back bumper. There is a little slit where you can worm your arm through to get to them.

If you are not using the same reflectors, just break the majority portion of the stems off so you won't have to worry about unscrewing the nuts all the way off.

I'm pretty sure i got them off of ebay... I ordered them a long time ago with a bunch of other stuff i ordered, but i never got them in because i couldn't figure out how to do it. So I got them in thanks to nathansee and iowanine!! It was a PITA!!! My arms are all cut up and it was very tedious to get the bolts out, but I did it and it looks great!

Dang so it took me long enough to find who i got them from! Here's who i got them from... Smoked Bumper Reflectors
So my car is super dirty and i'm sorry for the horrible pictures. Eventually i'll get some good pics, but it's dark and it's been raining all day so these are the best i can get you.

I have the same side reflectors. They fit pretty well, have no issues w/them fitting.
