Hi. I was just wondering how people were removing the black plastic plugs in the rear bumper to put the red reflectors instead. Do you just lift it with a screw driver covered with some soft cloth? Or is there some kind of latch behind the bumper? Thanks in advance.

Do a search on rear reflectors. I used a medium size scredrive wrapped with cloth. Just pry hard and the thing will fly out. then just pop the new ones in

Just squat or sit. on the floor and pry the sucker out. Make sure your screwdrives is well coverd with a rag just in case. Tje whole thing may take you 2minutes 2 do.
