I got the instructions from the installs area on the site, and it looks really easy to do and all, but the plastic just won't come off. I unscrewed the only screw it shows you to unscrew, and try to pry off the plastic and I get one or two of the white clips unclipped, but I'm afraid if I pull any harder, I'll break something. I was using a flat screwdriver to start prying it off, then stuck a couple fingers under the plastic I could get up and pulled down. Is there any tricks to removing it or should I just pull with all my strength LOL.

Thanks smile

Oh really? I tried that at first but it wouldn't pull off, that's why I started prying it off. I guess I was just paranoid I'd break something on my baby smile So it snaps on just as easy?

Thanks for the info smile

I've rpleaced mine 2x...you have to pull hard on the entire piece...I grabbed the 'handle' with one hand, the front of the plastic with the other. It will snap out with a quick pull. A few of the plastic bolts may fly out of their sockets as well, so keep your eyes peeled. They just get replaced with a half-twist to lock back in...VOILA!! thumbsup

That looks really blue. Dunno what the cops will say, but it looks nice. Mine used to be red, then I realize that it was illegal to have it red, so I changed it back.

Well I'll carry the original ones in the glove box and if I get pulled over, I'll show em to him that I just changed them and that they're supposed to be hyper white, didn't realize it was illegal to have a bluish tint to them...I'll prolly just get a warning or whatnot. Will let y'all know if I do smile The pic doesn't show the brightness very well, it really lights up the license plate more than the stock ones did.
