Default 2016 IS350 Rear Bumper Removal

Ok. I'm about to flip out!

Just purchased a set of rear led reflector from ijdmtoys. There removal instructions are vague at best. I've figured out how to remove EVERYTHING but the damn wheel well bolts/screws. I'm talking about the inner wheel well where there is some type of plastic cover with an arrow pointing up. 2016 IS350 Rear Bumper Removal-photo820.jpg2016 IS350 Rear Bumper Removal-photo993.jpg
How the hell do I get at these?!?!?
I realize at the bottom there is a hole to insert a screw driver but is it a screw, a fricken nut or what???

I followed this rear bumper removal thread for the RC350. It's pretty much the same for the IS350. I did have to remove the rear wheel to gain easy access to the 10 mm bolt in the wheel well area. I used a ratchet with an extension and 10mm socket.

Hope this helps you!

Thank you for the reply. ðŸ‘
I'll take some detailed pics of the removal for other who may attempt the removal and install.

Cheers!

Sorry for the inconvenience, we will try and revise and update with some clearer pictures once we get some detailed pics.

No worries. I've been taking pics of my install to share. I do have a few suggestions to make the wiring install a little easier as you'll find when installing that creating an extension with quick connectors will help tremendously.
Just finished installing and testing the right side. Will post a complete write up once finished.

it's a 10mm bolt, use an extended socket wrench.

Here is my original install thread. If I could give any advice I'd say return them and save yourself the headache of removing them. I had leds on both begin to fail around a year. I've updated the thread with what happened to them and how it looked. Looks like ***** when they started to fail. Removed.

Good luck.
