How do I remove 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon factory steel Rear Bumper Trim Bezel

[Bradt530]

How do I remove Rear Bumper Trim Bezel (around the tow hook and reflector) ?
I have removed the two plastic push rivets one above the reflector and one above the tow hook. I thought it would snap out and I have pryed with a flat blade screw driver but not wanting to crack it. I stopped to seek professional assistance. I am wanting to remove the reflector and mount a led back up light to my factory steel bumper.
I know there is a kit that bolts in to the reflector location. At 200.00 I can use that for a needed Synergy front track bar and sector shaft brace.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I installed the XVision Led's for the JT in that position. If I recall, there are like 3 screws on the backside of the bumper that hold the reflector in place. Once those are removed, the reflector pops right out.

I also have the Synergy track bar, but the sector shaft brace is WAY back ordered. I've been waiting 8 weeks so far with nothing.

Yes I got the reflector out. I was trying to remove the trim on the outside around the tow hook and the reflector. I have changed gears now I'm looking at cutting a template from the reflectors I removed and making one out of aluminum and mounting the lights to it or something about those lines.

I did this awhile back. It took me some time to figure out what exactly I wanted but I was happy with the way it turned out in the end.

Project done without removing the trim. I removed the reflector traced a pattern on cardboard. Cut mounting pattern out of 1/4" Marine board HDPE mounted led lights and installed.
screw holes fit the first time. All this cost about $40.00 for material. My time was free had some wire and wiring loom laying around. I though with the odd shape of the reflectors it would be harder to fit.
But a bad look for about 40.00 and 6 hours of time. Plus I got the satisfaction of doing it myself.
Momma still thinks I have too many lights. wait till I add a light bar across the hood.
