Default Removing Headlight nozzle bumper covers

My wife hit a tumble weed on I-70 that punched a hole in our bumper, and now I am getting a new one under warranty. Not bad since mine was showing some wear anyway.

If I bring in the little colormatched plastic covers that cover the nozzle that pops up from the bumper, they are willing to paint those even though they were not damaged in the accident (but one have some major scuffs).

They are also doing the plug that is used to cover the tow hook.

Anyone know how to remove them from the car? My search did not go well, but it helps if I would know what they are officially called.

Thanks

Not sure what you mean, I can pull up on the piece and it comes up from the bumper as it does when it pops up to spray the headlights--just don't know how to pop it off the black stem without breaking it.
