Need a DIY on Side Reflector replacement with camera

Andrewdr · 09-25-2017, 02:39 PM

Dies anyone have a DIY to remove the amber reflectors with the camera system? I received my new painted ones from IND and could not find any videos on removal of existing parts. Any help is appreciated.

Same as without the camera. Just heat up the reflector, pull it out against the double sided tape and then it comes out with the camera, you unplug the harness connector and the cameras are held in with 2 screws. Screw them into the new reflectors, plug them back in to the connector and mount them.

how long did it take you? Ive been putting this one off.

Did you have to pull the wheel well liner to get to it?

You don't have to pull it off, just take out about 3 screws so it bends back. You just need enough room to take out the reflector once you push it out. Easiest way is with a heat gun but I would use a blow dryer if you are not familiar with how to use one as you can damage your paint if you get too close with it.

Thanks! Don't have a heat gun, so that wont be an issue!

It took about 15 - 20 minutes each side. Used a blowdryer to soften glue.
