Done! Was easy.
Make sure the car is cool - you'll be reaching around the exhaust. They go in by slotting the outer most tab into the outside part of the car and then snapping the rest in. They come out in the opposite way.
The passenger side is a little tight, but keep reaching and you'll get it. Or use a pick tool. |

Any step by step pics for this rear reflectors install ? Took a quick look underneath rear side (non-exhaust pipe) and it's crazy tight narrow to reach from behind.. seems ideal to remove from the outside versus down under.
Anyone know the best process or method to remove both rear reflectors from outside? |

So I pried from the bottom with a flat plastic putty knife. They did break but I wasn't reselling them so.................. Changes the whole look of the back end. Makes it appear wider |

Coming from a F30 (320i) it will be a challenge. It's almost impossible to reach both rear reflectors underneath the back bumper..! The access point is too narrow and there's blockage to the reflectors. I don't see myself trying to pry them from the outside to risk damage to the body.

Completed the install today. I'll get around taking pics and uploading later..
Facing the rear reflector, used fishing line to loop the corner (inner towards center license plate) and pulled it without damage.. easy DIY mod, a lot more easier than the replacing front reflectors! The front and rear reflectors I bought were OEM, and went to a local collision shop to get them painted to match my F30. |

Sorry, don't know what is a diffuser but.. for my rear reflectors they just pop out as you pry/pull back with fishing line, then, installed painted reflectors as they snap back in easily.
I didn't remove anything, except for rear reflectors on my car (320i). |
