From what I remember, go from the wheel well. I think there's one or two screws.

Hi irokdastar

I asked the same question a while ago and Talwang answered for me with a picture.
It is very easy when you know how.

Hi irokstar

I painted my front markers body colour (they are only reflectors in the uk), but if you want to do the rears, unfortunately it is bumper off to get to them.

Best regards

Thanks VVTiBob

Yes, I have been trying to figure out how to change it to the other side and bring it over there!

Hi irokdastar

Be good to see some pictures when you do the rears. As you will see when you remove the fronts, they are set into the bumpers quite deep and I think it would be pretty difficult to mask well with tape.
