Removal of rear bumper - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

For the love of God I can figure out why the rear bumper has to be removed to change the reverse lights.

I want to install LED's but has anybody taken off or know how the rear bumper comes off? I searched but could find anything. I'm sure its pretty simple, just don't want to go and start taking it off and break a pesky little tab holding it on.

Its very easy, just be careful and have a second set of hands

.
Use steps 3-7.

NOYCE!!! Thx buddy!!

Not a problem. When you get ready to remove it you will need to pull out on the sides. Just be careful when pulling them out.

I got them from superbrightleds.com

I have them in my dome light and they are pretty dam bright and they fit perfect with no modifications. I went with the WLED-xLX because they have a wide beam (120 degrees) compared to the WLED-WHP9-T because they aren't that bright. (but bright enough for the trunk)

When I install them I will post some pictures.

Bright as hell!

Not so bright for reverse lights

Noyce!!! I was just going to request this. I want to wire my DRL's to come on with the parking lights like thebrainhart did with his. I'll also be converting mine to LED so it doesn't blind anybody in the night. I just want the look of the fogs at night and have the DRL's still work in the day.

Thx thiggin2!!
