So I was wondering what the best way to remove the amber front bumper lights and the red rear bumper lights is. One of them has accumulated water in it and I would like to replace them with clear ones anyways. Please don't tell me I have to remove the front bumper, I might cry! Thanks for any help!!

 

Also might as well ask about how to remove the chrome bumper blades while I'm at it. Thanks!

 

SVT, removing the side marker lights is easy. What I will tell you to do is to get a flat bladed screw driver and cover the end of the screw driver with tape (or other soft material). Now, if you look at the side marker light, you have a flat side and a pointy end (when looking at the left/right sides). You want to put the screw drive on the flat side and then push the light assembly towards the pointy end. After the light moves about a 1/4", you can then pull the screw driver back towards you a little bit which will allow the hood on the flat end to slide out of the opening in the bumper. Once the hook is free, you can release the pressure and pull the light housing the rest of the way out. Putting the light fixture back in is nothing more than sliding the hook end into the opening, making sure it hooks under the bumper cover and then gently pushing the spring clip end into place.

As for the bumper blades, in short, you have to remove the bumper cover off of the car. Once you get the bumper cover off, you will see where there are 4 clips that hold the blades in place on the back side. Unfortunately, you can not access the clips with the bumper cover installed. The good thing is that removing the bumper covers is not a difficult task, just need some torx bits to get some of the fasteners removed.
