Default Easy

The whole assembly pops out when carefully pried up at the edges. Do not scratch the paint, or get too aggressive!

I like to update this thread Incase someone down the road needs the bulb replace. The orange front blinker is held down by a screw, so do not pry it, it does not pop off you will end up breaking it. The best is to approach via the wheel liner, just a couple of screw and you can bent the wheel liner back and bent the front bumper back and just reach your arm in and twist off the bulb and replace with new bulb it's that easy. I repeat the lens does not come off, I'm not sure how member fixmeister was able to pop it off, since a screw is held in place and impossible to access unless you take out the whole front bumber

Is the front bumper made of fiber glass?

MY apology, I mean to say polyurethane for the front bumper very flexible and not fiberglass.

I figured that had to be a typo.
