Exclamation No more broken Side Markers !

Hi everyone,

While I was retrofitting and blacking out head lights yesterday, I found a way to take off the front bumper without taking off or damaging the side markers.

Here's how:

1. Remove 1 plastic pop rivet behind the side marker and 3 under it in the wheel liner.

2. Now pull away the wheel well liner to reveal the side marker assembly.

3. Make your way to the top of the side maker and locate the end of the plastic pop rivet.

5. Find something flat, like a big flat tip screw driver, and put it on top of the rivet' end.

6. Squeeze down hard until you here it pop out (Only the core of the rivet will pop out, the rivet it self will stay in the hole as the side marker is in the way).

7. Last, remove bumper by pulling the bumper down, it should pop right off.


To re-install the the bumper, you'll need to take off the rivet by removing the side marker, as installing the front bumper with the rivet sitting in there makes it almost impossible to line up the bumper. However, it is much easier to get the side markers off when the bumper's off and you can actually see it!



Big thanks to DarrenDriven and civicdrivr as the Retrofit and black out turned out to be great!!
