How to remove chrome surround trim for C63 DRL's?

Hey gang,

Does anyone know how to take off the chrome surrounding trim for the DRL's? Do they pull right out? I tried pulling on these, but no dice.

I'm looking to do a DIY vinyl wrap on these pieces.

Thanks for reading

No idea, but when you do find out, a DIY with pics and instructions would be amazing!

Plastidip if you can't get 'em out easily

They just pop out once you pull on them. I was able to do it with my fingers. I plastidipped and put em back on.

Are you talking about the fogs? If not then disregard.

I think the best way to do it is to remove your bumper. You need to pry them out.

Removing the front bumper is not that complicated. 2 10mm bolts on each side (behing the wheel well), 2 10mm bolts on each side of the grill, a few torx 15 underneath and that's pretty much it

Oh ok. Do we need to disconnect the DRL, sidemarkers, headlamp washers etc?

C63 Coupe
I wrapped mine with CF vinyl while they were still on the car.....there is decent enough returns around them to tuck in the edges..
