Need to remove the rear bumper to get access to the rear reflectors.

It's like the front bumper in that you have to remove the clips and couple bolts around the edges and underneath. And pulls it off almost in the same manner as the front.

Once you remove the rear bumper the reflectors have two screws each holding them in.

Recommend that if you do it yourself that you tape all the edges around the bumper and the adjacent panels a couple inches around them. That way you limit the possibility of scratching the paint on the panels when doing the removal and install.

damn i was hoping this wasn't the case, and thank you for the tip.

Yea, i was going to tint them. I already did the 3rd light and side markers and wanted to get to these easily but i guess this isn't going to be a 10 min job any more.
