how do you take off front orange reflectors?

how do you take of the front orange reflectors? Do you just pull or do you need to replace them with another part same color as your car? this is for the new 2008 e92 m3's

i believe you push down on the top and then they come out. You can have them painted or buy some that have been pre-painted on E-bay. Hope this answers your question.

On the E46 you could insert like a credit card from the top and push down on the retention tabs. PM to Longtran.

Can someone please post a video or pics of how to do it with step by step instructions. This is the first thing i will do to my car (and maybe lights but will leave it mostly stock)

My concern, as I am sure is shared by many is taht i will break or scratch something fo not doing it right.

I took one of mine off today.

WARNING: On the E92, the spring loaded edge is the top edge. Do not try to pry it from the top. I nearly broke mine. Pry it from the bottom.

Swamp and I are considering making flush parts. Stay tuned...

Lucid, could you please make a video on removing it and post it on youtube? That would be extremely helpful.

If you made flush, then at some point I would own 4 different sets of plastic that goes in the bumper -- OEM, clear, painted, flush.

I started trying to pry from the top because of that first link to the reflectors showed the springs on top. I ended up gouging part of the orange reflector so I gave up. I asked Mike Vu from MV Designs, who is painting my trunk, to help me remove it. He took a look at it and removed it with his hands by pushing against the bumper to create a gap at the bottom and I believe he grabbed the bottom part with his finger tips and pulled it out. It only took him like 5 seconds each side with no tools. I'd say if you can do it this way without tools, that's the way to go.

F, it really is simple as long as you approach it from the bottom. As someone mentioned you could probably even flip it out with a credit card.

Will keep you guys posted on the flush reflector development, but it will be a few weeks before any significant news given work schedules.
