Need help removing reflector!!!
Like the title says. I need help removing the rear bumper reflector. Does anybody know how I can remove it? Someone hit my car in the rear left corner when it was parked and the reflector cracked. Thanks in advance.

Yes you do have to remove the bumper. There is a phillips screw on the inside of the bumper holding this suckers to the bumper. I broke one of mine pulling it like a mad man. I then removed the bumper and saw the crappy screw. It sucks that you have to remove it because you can not fit anything in there. You might not have to remove the whole bumper but manly the sides. It easier if you do remove the whole thing.
Good luck and be careful.

Just an update. It only took me about 1/2 an hour to remove the left side of the bumper, remove the old reflector, install the new one, and reinstall the bumper. The bumper is held in place by 6 screws and 6 pins. 1 screw by under the bumper right behind the rear wheel, 1 behind a cover when you open the trunk and one right behind the rear wheel going from bumper to 1/4 panel. There are 4 pins under the rear bumper in between the left and right exhaust and one on each side right behind the rear wheel. Once you guys remove the screws and pins don't be afraid to pull on the bumper because it's also held in place by clips.

when you had it out, was there an open hole in the bumper behind the reflector? i am planning on wiring a set of brake lights behind the reflectors since my taillights are so dark... It should prevent someone from saying to me: "i rear ended you because i didnt see any tail lights come on!"
