Removing Reflectors and Taillights

So I bought tail light tints for my car, I did the side mirrors and that looked nice. I little got under the tape and made the paint bubble so I will have to get those repainted at some point. I know the reflectors and tail lights come off, but since i bought my car used, I never got a manual. Can anyone tell me the easiest way to take these off? I know I have to take off a panel for the tail lights, do the reflectors just pop off or do you unscrew something?

If i recall correctly you only have to get that one bolt under the bumper so if you loosen the bumper in the middle it will give you enough room to reach the bolt.


The reflectors are clips i think.

So I got the clips off no problem, I just have trouble getting the third tail light out. The one that is located on the spoiler. I unscrewed the two visible screws but it didn't come out and it felt like it was getting caught in the middle. So I'm stuck here. The reflectors look nice, I think I am going to just get films for the tail lights.
