i was trying to take em off day by using the same method i used for the trunk letters.. i didint wanna pull it to hard and damage the paint.. is it screwed on from the back or some thing?

 

If you find out let me know becuase I hate them they have no function. The turn signal is below them so why are they there?

 

the ones on the front bumpers? they screw on in the back. unplug those plugs by the wheel well and pull the black piece off and you can squeeze your hand back there and unscrew it off (there's two screws holdin' it)

PS, we just had a group buy to replace those with clear ones if you do a search under "clear reflectors" and go to the thread "clear reflectors gb final call" if you're interested all payment info is on page 1 in the 3rd post. We paid $33 but now they're down to $29 shipped.

Several pictures are in that thread as well. Only a few sets left

 

Hey people -- i just installed my reflectors today -- and i found a easy and less time consuming way around removing and installing the reflectors!! -- i'll do a write up for it tomorrow

(what ciaxtrinity1 said about squeezin your handin.. it can be pretty tough and painful if you have big hands.. so wait up for my way -- its better ) --------

Expect it around 4pm EASTERN time tomorrow!

note: reason im' not doin it now is cuz i'm tired as crap.. sorry --

 

Oh I thought we were talking about the ones in the evo head light.

 

On the Evo, its hard to take those amber lens because they're inside the headlight housing. But I made some mods on this. Instead of using the amber light as parking light, I used the turn signal my parking light and changed the bulb to a clear bulb so no more amber parking light.

 

just got home.. its 4est now -- so i'm alittle later than i said it would be up --- gunna do a write up now

Alright ---here goes
This is how i installed my passenger side reflector... since i couldn't fit my hand in there to unscrew it from the wheel mud guard way in...... so ---
I unscrewed the 3 screws on the mud guard, then i opened my hood and unscrewed the 3 screws on the headlamp --- removed the headlamp --- now ... this worked for me -- but if you dont want to try it, then dont:
once you have the headlamp out and the mudguard unscrewed, you'll want to look at the top corner of the front bumper, above the reflector and see where it is 'push locked' into place, push back and down on that area of the bumper and pull the bumper slowly out, away from your 1\4 panel --- if you look back on the front bumper where your headlamp goes, you will see a white clamp thing... i just pulled on the bumper there and pulled it outward a little-- it gives it enough ... give to pull the bumper out and up enough to easily unscrew the 2 screws and install your new reflector -- just put your hand in through the headlamp hole

just reverse this process to get it all back together again!! -- this seems like it would take forever... but it takes hardly anytime at all --

and if your wondering.. the driver side one, just unscrew the 3 screws un the mud guard and pull it back -- you can fit your hand in there easily!

Hope this helps,
- rob
