It really is. I just couldn't fit my hands in there with any tools but it is possible. On my first M235 I managed to get them out without breaking the tabs but it took a few minutes and a lot of F bombs! On my second I just ripped the suckers out and broke the tabs. 2 minute job. Much easier

Looks like I'm going to have to tint mine as I can't find them for the base 228 bumper design.

If you don't care about breaking the tabs it's not a big deal. The tabs are extremely brittle, so not breaking them is a chore. I'm not worried about changing them back so no big deal.

Fuck the tabs, seriously. It's not worth saving them.
You will probably end up breaking one of the 4 tabs on each reflector which should still hold perfectly fine.
