Can anyone please tell me how to remove the front indicators (the ones in the bumper).
I know the front can be removed by the 2 screws at the front but I need to remove the whole unit.
I have consulted both Mr Haynes and Mr Bentley but neither can help me.

On a pre-facelift, there are 2 small nuts (might be bolts, I can't remember!) holding them in from behind. There's enough room to get a socket on them easily enough...

You need to remove the bumper, they are secured from the rear.

Bumper is removed by 2 Torq screws (size T55) on the underside of the bumper.
