    Forget a dremel, forget a heat gun.

    No heat, no solvent, no tools but your favorite screwdriver. Pull on 1 end while getting under it with a flat head. Cake

    I did exactly that, but I found that heating it a little makes the rubber easier to pull.

    I’d pull the interior parts out, I pulled mine right away and put them in plastic, I wouldn’t want to deal with cleaning off all those plastic shavings.

    That looks great, wasn’t my experience at all, but my headlights also seemed to have way excess permaseal to where it was overflowing both sides of that channel quite a bit, were yours like that too?

    @mesojdm says those can be fixed if they're broke but Not sure with that. Not sure how but then again maybe you already have a plan. Still sucks tho.

    Maybe get a metal washer big enough for the bolt and epoxy it to the top of the tab?

    edit: nvm that's a way better solution! nice!

    Print in abs(as that's what the stock plastic is) the. You can and glue/weld it together. Great solution!

    Your raptor lights are the best I've seen! Any chance you have a link to where you got them?

    Honestly no link, I got them as a gift from Rogue Offroad. But from what I was told, they are OEM Raptor side markers.

    Planning on this mod soon, got my rx350 projectors tuned and ready to go. By any chance anyone have an extra set of headlights they like to sell in case I mess mine up? Looking for sport/OR DRL headlights in good condition.

    Here's some pics of my self tuned projectors/beam
