planning on doing what is in the title; basically painting the edge front bumper pieces (which house a parking sensor) and the front bumper page that house the fog lights, going from painted to unpainted, and also another parking sensor. I bought the plastic bumper pieces first to just swap out.
Questions are:
1. Part description say they can’t be reused. Does this mean that they should be unplugged? Are there pieces that would break if they are removed?
2. Is it the same sensor that can just be swamped with another, meaning my black sensors will go where the colored one currently is? That way, I can avoid any painting steps.
Anything else that I may need to be aware of?
 
If what you are talking about are the round sensors located in the bumper....... IDK about the LC, but the ones in a Taco were a bear to reuse. Getting them off without breaking the super thin flange was almost impossible! I broke the 1st one before I realized how fragile they were, after that I got the rest out with some careful effort.
