Hi can you explain me how it is possibile to remove the original reflector?
Thanks
One year later! Thread resurrection time!

I'm not putting in lights but still want to know how to remove the rear bumper reflectors without removing the whole bumper... Like, is it a yank-and-hope-nothing-breaks kinda thing or is there a better technique? Many thanks in advance!

You just pull them out. They are really tight and very likely to break when removing..

I installed the version that has both red and white leds, so it functions as reversing light too! This was at the time when MCU2 had really dark camera, helped a bit. :)
