Pulls out carefully, peel forward and outboard in an arc :y

Can be a bit tight, but gently does it... Outboard end hooks into wing, no other magic involved ;)

And a clip every 2 or 3 inches in the bumper, so gently wiggle/prise out at each point.

IIRC, if you apply gentle pressure downwards on the bumper as you ease it out it releases the pressure between Bumper and underside of lamp. :y

Worth having a spare platic rivet about in case you lose the pin you tap out.

On standard bumpers, they tend to fall onto the floor. On Irmscher bumpers, they annoyingly get stuck in the bumper. Apparently. I wouldn't know this. Obviously. ;D

No need to refit it :y Obviously if I have removed it from someone elses car, then it goes back... mine are lacking, which makes removing the headlights a doddle ::)
