Some pratt decided to reverse into my car and has damged the bumper and the grill a bit, but he has pushed the indicator unit back into the bumper as you can see from the picture (closest one). i opened the front glass (orange plastic) but there seems to be no way of getting the little buggers out!! how to do ??????? Do i have to take off the bumper if so how???? Arrgghh!

The orange lenses are hard enough to get off at the best of times. They sit into a lip in front of the reflector. Use the screw hole in the lens to pull one side forward.

The bumper pulls forward after undoing the two screws up underneath. They are huge torx one and will be tight if not taken off before. Unplug the back of the indicators before taking the bumper off fully.

If you just want to pull it back into place rather than replace it then take the lense off and the bulb out and stick your finger in the bulb socket and pull it forwards back into place.
