How do I remove the chrome bezels from 2010 Camaro?

[Teddy Camaro]

Hello, I just joined the forums, and I'm wondering how do I actually remove the bezels without removing the bumper?

I tried pushing down the chrome tabs and I accidentally cracked one piece of the tab... I feel terrible for doing that...

Can anyone give me a better idea or an understanding on how to remove the bezels without removing the bumper?

couple of threads on this, but you just have to push the tabs in. the one's on the bottom are real fun to get at. just take your time.

be careful. . . i broke 2 of mine taking them out... they are about 20 bucks each.

Sure. There is threads on this topic, but I still can't find any guides / tutorials...

I've managed to get half of it off, but the bottom tabs are so hard!

Your not going to put back on so why worry right

Well, I'm pretty sure I did number 3.

and the tail lamp won't budge

I'm doing something wrong because theres a small white tab blocking it from moving anywhere. I tried moving that tab down and freeing it, but no luck.

Only one I've done was the inner lamp left. I got one of the bottom ones out and then the top. I didn't break anything, but can see how easy it can be.

do a little research. youtube? all over topics on this..

[Teddy Camaro]

I've seen youtube videos on it, they all say remove the bumper... I don't want to do that.

Some people say it's possible without removing that bumper.

oh well, I might take it to the dealership, see what they say.

I unbolted the light after removing the bezel. Oh and I got the bolts off with my fingers!

I'm not sure, but if you were just gonna trash em try to break them off

and usually the "fascia" describes the front of the car (bumper, headlights, and such) but some people use it to describe the back of the car, i guess
