Default In search of Special Tool for Side Reflectors

I'm changing out my side reflectors to a pair of smoked ones. I really don’t want to take my bumper off (again) I remember awhile back someone posted a tool they used to change their reflector without removing the bumper. It was a "S" shaped screw driver. Anyone have a picture or know what it is?

Thank you in advance

Look for a short ratchet set, I bought one from Sears. Mine has a mini ratchet with four bits: two flatheads (one big, one smaller), and two Philips heads (big and small). It fits well in between spaces as little as 1" wide.

The pic that you are referencing is an S-shaped tool with right angles at each end. That will work too, but I wasn't able to allocate one at the local Sears. I like ratchets anyways.

It's a Z shaped phillips head screwdriver. It's about $4.00 at Home Depot or Lowe's. Look in the tool section.

I have changed them without taking off my bumper. All I used was a screwdriver bit and a ratcheting box wrench. It was a pain in the a.. but worked fine....
