Default Headlight washer Assembly and Parking Sensors

I'm in the process of putting a new front bumper on and am about to start working on transferring components from the old to the new.

I don't see any obvious way the parking sensors and headlight washers come off, so before I break something, does anyone have any tips on removing these? I've been searching, but haven't found anything helpful yet.

Figured out the headlamp washers.

Just pull the covers up, two tabs hold the cover on to the plastic nozzle, from there it's pretty obvious.

Still need to figure out the parking sensors

The sensors unplug & unclip...

I replaced my bumper less than a month ago. Very easy to figure out where/how everything goes if you undo the top part of the OG bumper, then unplug everything (fog lights, headlight washers and the line that goes to them, parking sensors). Then undo the bottom of the bumper and place them side by side.

I took pictures of the inside of the stock bumper just in case I forgot where stuff went lol. Everything transfers over very easily. Good luck.

Thanks guys. I've moved everything over with the exception of the actual sensors, so they are unplugged.

I'm probably being overly cautious, but when I try to remove them I'm worried as the outer, painted part feels like its being pulled off. I'm guessing the outer part of the sensors just snaps off and then back on?

In case anyone else comes across this trying to do the same thing, the sensors are held in place by a black plastic piece that simple needs to be pushed to the side, after which the sensors can be pulled out of the bumper.

When I was first looking at them, I didn't notice that the clip was separate from the sensor, it all looked like one piece, hence the confusion.
