Stupid question, but whats the best way to remove the plugs from my foglight holes in my bumper? I bought some driving lamps and they want a home.

can you see any trim clips? I know don't answer a question with another question

Trim clips? The pieces are physically molded in with the rest of the bumper. There are some gaps and then tabs that connect it to the bumper.

Look at this pic for what I'm talking about:

Drill + reciprocating saw

Alrighty..... I have the drill, but not the saw, I do however have a hacksaw I might be able to figure into there...

Other ideas??

Take the blade off the hacksaw and do it by hand. It would be a bit slower though

How about a dremel? When I made my custom surronds for my fogs thats what I used and if you can find the right attachment it cuts really smooth and easy.
Peace,

I was thinking dremel, but that would require coming in from the back side, which means removing the fender liner, which can be a pain on the passenger side. Plus there is limited moving room with a very fast moving cutting instrument :lol:

Hacksaw and then use the dremel to clean up the cuts.

Have you tried taking off the bottom plastic paneling to see if there are clips that you can un-do from the back of the bumper? I was assuming that's what I was going to have to do when i get some for mine...
