How To Remove rear bumper Reflectors

The best way to do this is to stick you hand up behind the bumper and feel for the two push tabs, as shown in the below pic.

Once you have found them push one in at a time and push it forward (towards the rear of the car).

and it will start to come out like so.

it would be a good idea to drill little holes in the back of the reflectors and fit some LED.s in them
and rig them up to the high level brake light

Sounds good :P but would it be legal?

i don't see why it would be
here is a link but he rigged them up to the indicators
the high level brake light would have been a much better option

There is ruling for the positioning of brake lights they have to be 350mm from the groundalso in this country you have to have rear reflectors between 350mm and 900mm from the ground. Can't see the point in having so many brake lights.
