Question How do you change the front bumper reflector on E70

Hi, does anyone know how to install these on an E70 X5? I got them in today, and wanted to install them on my fathers truck, but there's no way to get behind the bumper cover to remove the amber reflectors and install these smoked ones.

Yeah, it's a pain. I did mine the same time I did the install of my HID Fogs, 6000K Xenons and 8500K Super-White Angel Eyes. The reflectors required the car to be on the lift, in order to get underneath.
