Rear reflector replacement

Hi guys, is it possible to replace a broken rear reflector without taking the whole bumper off?

I've attached the image of how the broken one looks. Not sure if I can just force/break it out from outside and then just insert a new one.

Yeah they should easily come off. You just need a plastic trim tool not to damage the bumper. There are two clips in the back one on each side.
You might be able to fit your hand above the exhaust pipe but And push it out without a trim tool; in case you break the clips and they will fall off from the back.

Good to hear, thanks! The new one is arriving tomorrow so I will try.
