Clear reflector install-question

[bmike818]

Do you have to remove the two front wheels to remove the front bumper? I am planning to switch my amber reflectors this weekend to clear ones.

thanks

i am wondering if you can get to it from underneath? just by removing the air dam under the car and get to it from there.... other than that, it makes it a heck of a lot easier to remove the bumper &/or fenders if you remove the wheel...

No lol its just bolts underneath in the front of the car and in the wheel well, pop them off to remove the plastic lining in the well, once thats done the front bumper pops right off. And replacing the reflectors is mega easy its just two screws holding them in place.

And if by air dam do you mean the plastic black piece that was at the front, i removed that, it got banged up too much, looked really bad on my car.

I did that mod to my car too!I didn't take off the bumber, the tires or even raise the car.

1. Just remove all of the bolts that hold the bottom, front, plastic thing.2. Once that is removed snake your arm into the place where the reflectors are housed, (your arm will get a little scraped and bruised).3. Remove the 2 screws and wiggle/pop the reflectors out.

-You could also try going through the wheel well, that sounds like it might be easier.

The clear reflectors will look clean on your car because it's black.-You might also want to replace your front, orange turn signals to clear ones so that it'll all look clear white, (that's what I did).

thanks to you I saved a lot of time and headache. If people knew how easy it was, more people would probably do it.



So I got my reflectors done. Did not have to remove my front bumper or front wheels.

Thanks melon but this thread is more for people who want to modify their headlights.

Ya I know but there was a great write up if you needed to remove your bumper. Looks clean with the clear, especially on black
