Default Removing Bumper Molding on '02 S60

I need to replace my front right bumper molding (black plastic). The part can be bought for less than $50. Anyone know how to take it off - or do I need to take it to a dealer? I think it might come off with a screwdriver - but don't want to mess with it until I'm sure.

Thanks

Start behind the little orange light and pop it out there first and it should come out from there.

Sorry...two last questions

1) Just use a screw driver to take out?
2) New trim just pops in?

Thanks again

Hey Tech. My 02 S60 has the black moulding. I would like to replace it with white, same color as car, but can't seem to find any. Do you know of any aftermarket supplier or someone who sells it? Thanks.

Just replaced mine. There are self-locking clips on the moulding which need to be pushed sideways slightly to get them released from the slots on the main bumper. I just used my fingers and no tools. Suggest you get the new moulding first and take a close look at it. It's self-explanatory once you see the actual part.

To color code the moulding, you need to take them to a body shop to have them painted. Then I guess you will need to paint the rest of the mouldings on the doors and rear bumper to match.
