Painted reflector help

I purchased the color matched reflectors from ind. I tried the hair dryer method to loosen the adhesive but am having no luck getting the stock ones out. Any suggestions?

Thanks

I had a hell of a time removing my reflectors so i used a heat gun set on low and softened the back of the reflector and it came out.

Keep at it man, it'll be worth it once you get those orange reflectors outta there!

Wish I could help but I paid a body shop to replace mine. They're a real PITA on the M Sport models due to the different front bumper/fog light configuration.
