im going to have a play this weekend, and i think they might have to be dremeled due to the type of glue.

if you are going to try that, you need a steady hand. i would cover anything you dont want with some tape.

Have you guys done the front lights then? Really worried about messing it up. If you've done the fronts then surely the rears must be the same just look for the glue seal.
