I hope I never have need to do this, but how are you guys popping off that front bumper cover and not scratching the paint/gouging the plastic?
It just pivots out about a middle horizontal line, just gently push on the top and pull out from the bottom. I have some very small marks around the edge of mine, but they are difficult to see. I've had it open and closed way too many times now.

I like the idea of the do-it-yourself tube. Would be easy to glue a bottom end cap, put in a negative contact spring with a wire, and run it up the top end cap. Put in positive contact with wire, and run both out of the top end cap. If you are not a DIY person, I found a tube for sale that does the same thing, albeit for $40. I am going to ponder this solution to see if I really need to put one of these in the bumper. I do not want to implement a solution for a problem that does not exist.
