How would you recommend taking these out?
 Dumbass panel beaters left them in while painting by the looks of it, and the paint is cracking!

Get a razor blade and cut around the surround and then pop them out, also I will send you through a photo of how the lights mount into the bar.

i spoke to a panel beater mate about this and he said use a razor blade or scapel or stantley knife blade and score the paint around the covers then spray with a bit of wd40.... worth a try
cheers bear |

Thanks Bear, interesting.
I guess the WD40 moistens the paint preventing it from cracking?

no problems
as for softening i know it softens the glue on stick on badges and I'm thinking it lubricates it so it should help it slide out cheers bear |

hey
if the wd40 doesnt help try warmer the area with a hair dryer or heat gun on a low setting just be careful as it will melt the paint if you hold it on the area too long cheers bear |
