M SPort? or Non M Sport?

On the non m sport I just reached with my hand under the bumper and pushed them out.

On the M sport, since the reflectors sit much higher, I used double sided tape,and pulled them outwards.

Hope this helps.

I just got the rear bumper reflectors, and i'm trying to install them, but I'm only able to reach one clip in the back on each side, there's a bar that is blocking the other one. Anyone have any suggestions?

I used a strong double sided tape. If you have T shaped or L shaped bracket thats as wide or slimmer than the reflectors, you can use it. Attach the bracket to the reflectors using the tape and pull it out.

Cheers!

I have the M sport bumper. So you are saying just to stick something to the old ones and pull them off? How hard is it to install the new ones?
