I just squeezed the plastic piece together and it should pop off. I thought i was going to break it but didn't lol

[Pyro]

like you squeezed both of the black tabs towards each other?
because i was trying to push the black tabs up, but all i did was start to bend my bumper lol

Anyway, I circled where you have to put in your flat head screwdriver. Once you have the screwdriver in there, push towards the light and it should pop out with ease. Hope this helps!

there is no need for any tools... the light is just clipped onto the bumper cover... push the light towards the front of the car (towards the styrofoam piece you can see in the exposed cutout area) and it should pop off... do not use upwards or downwards force as the light is just clipped on at the side.... heating up the area a bit with a hair drier will help too since the cold makes everything so brittle

yeah this is probably why, when i tried to push against the black tab all i ended up doing was pushing the entire thing upwards lol
i'll try again tomorrow morning when there's light
