I'm going to be taking off my bumper to put in some new headlights. In the videos they use a tool to take off the plastic flush mounted clips.

It's has a "U" shape on the end. It's used to pull up the clip so you can take it off.

I don't have one and need to call around to find one before my lights get here.

Trim removal tools. They can come in sets of varying sizes too.

Get a plastic 1 if you can, the metal ones scrape, and mess shit up

Big Brunsy · 12-03-2010, 02:13 PM

screwdriver works just as well if you're careful

If you think you'll use them a lot you can spend some dollars on them, or try http://www.harborfreight.com/6-piece...set-66188.html Harbor Freight for $20 that work just fine.
