Front Bumper Question

Does anyone know how to, or if it is possible, to remove the chrome around the lower fog light? I have it circled below in the picture....

It's possible, but I don't know how. I've seen people take them out to paint them.

Okay

In actual fact they are just clipped in

However they are so awkward to remove i have popped both mine out using a flat blade screwdriver to repaint them same as colour of car

My advice use a hairdryer on them to make them more flexible

but in the end i just bought some new ones and repainted these

as i broke the clips removing the old ones

Not the best pic but we have a lot of snow here at the mo
