Default Rear bumper reflectors


Anyone know if these pop out? Or are they held in by a screw. Thanks again.

My best guess would be that they are held in with clips and can be removed with a plastic panel removal tool without damaging the paint...

Actually tried using my plastic trim removal tools and it was a bit tough so I stopped and figured I'd ask the club. A quick search showed that the IS has it screwed in, but the IS has way bigger reflectors than ours.

looks like it's clipped on. although i cannot make out what the hole on the right is for. Maybe a screw hole?

That helps, it seems I'll have to pry from the side toward the center of the car. And it should pop out. Its just quite difficult to get the trim tools in that deep. There really isnt much gap.

From that picture, there is clearly a screw holding it from the inside. You would need to remove the whole bumper to get it.
