Try to search the forum. It has been covered, but I removed them with dental floss! Hook the outside corner with 4 layers of dental floss and pull! The new reflectors just pop in back. Very easy!

Do a search for Reflectors. There is a good thread about using fishing line to pop them off.

Why don't you check with your Dealer and check their price. It cost me if I remember it right around $15 and I got it in a few days.

I already ordered them.
I am scared to yank them out of there. Is it easy to break the bumper?

When you get the reflector replacements you will see how they go in and how to to take the others out. You will not hurt your bumper. I did it with no instructions. Push on the body colored or black ones your car has now. You will see a side come free. Easy as pie.
