does anybody know how to remove the reflectors from the wheelarches? do they simply pop out?

 

The wheel arch reflectors are secured by two screws that you can see if you peek under the wheel arch. The reflectors are functional (they light up) and will pop out once you unhook the wiring.

 

I removed my left back reflector by backing into my uncle's car. It shattered everywhere.

On a similar topic - has anyone tried to hide their reflectors? They contain bulbs so simply removing them won't do the trick. I only want to hide the front orange ones. Maybe I could tint or paint them?

 

This comes up often (do a search and you'll see). Remove/hide the reflectors at your own risk. They're required to make all US-spec cars DoT legal. If you pull 'em, you may be able to get away with it if your state inspection folks don't notice or care. On the other hand, if they DO notice/care, you would be making your care street-illegal.

Just a word of warning.

 

the front reflector--has a screw on the bottom inside i can get to

how do i get to the top of the front reflector from the inside?

also how do you take of the REAR reflectors? i cant seem to be able to do it, cuz i found some aweseom replacements...

 

the rear ones are a pain to take out unless you take off your rear wheels.
if you take the rear wheels off, the screws are much easier to get at!
note: the above doesn't apply if you have hobbit hands!

well i will be taking the wheels off this week

so can you give me tips how to take fronts and rears off since i will have all wheels off this week

also can they put back on without taking wheels off again?

 

Go to the dealer and buy an extra set of reflectors.

Tint one set and then put in the other set when you go to have the car inspected.
