reverse led install: help with rear bumper - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hey guys, I can't seem to get my rear bumper off. I've removed the 7mm bolts and the 3 torx screws holding the wheel liner to the bumper, i've unplugged the taillights, and i've pulled like CRAZY from top and bottom, and the rear bumper doesn't move at all. Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks!

You need to gently pull the bumper out by each wheel. Then pull from the back to remove. It's easy after you know.

WOW. why couldn't they put that in the instructions? Good lord.

This is SIMPLE now that I know you have to pull OUT on each side by the wheel, THEN go to the back of the car and pull back. The thing came right off.

Thanks!

Cool, glad I could help. I installed my led reverse lights last week and I had the same problem. Took me a few minutes to figure out. The lights are bright as hell!
