Replacing Front Reflectors

anyone has insruction on how to replace the front reflectors? got my painted ones. just wanted to know how to tackle this task today. i'm guessing i need to take out the bumper or the back somehow (by the fender well)? any good tips? i thought it was like the ///m where u just pop it out. this one looks tougher.

ok figured it out. i didn't realize you can take out the two front plastics on the bumper. i used a hair dryer to help take off the old reflectors. that worked like a charm.

On a side note, where would one be able to find painted reflectors w/ side view camera? Also would the disassemble(removing the camera head) process be a delicate work?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Nick,

I actually just chatted with James on your website and he said you guys didn't carry it. But you guys actually do right?
