I'm not sure what part you are talking about??

Are you talking about the rear bumper reverse light reflectors?? or 1/4 panel side lights??

I cant figure out whats holding it back...Ive got the black part surrounding the headlight off and the headlight covers off and the front combination lights off and the fenderliner off!! I still cant figure it out lol

its firmly in place too not even loose, i figure maybe I have to pull a certain way or something and it doesnt show anything about it in my shop manual

kind of frustrated

id love it if you could help me out thanks!!
I didnt take note of it on my last car when I threw the stock bumper away with the reflectors lol

The screw you're looking for is on the back of the reflector/light, behind the bumper, facing the rear of the car. There's a hole (with a plug) in the fender liner to access it, but since you already have the liner loose, you should be able to see and easily get to the screw.

The reflector/light has a tab at the front that inserts through a slot in the bumper. Unscrew the screw and then push out on the rear of the light and the back will pop free. Then just pull the front tab out of the slot in the bumper.

jimlab thanks bro I got it now
the problem was that I wasnt lifting the tab away from the rear. once i pulled it back and pushed from the back it popped right out.


theres just 2 screws and 1 connector on it. You gotta take a bunch of stuff off to access those screws though
