12109, Removing letters from center tail light Posted by DrkWtsn, Jan-16-02 12:41 PM
Does anyone have a easy (semi) way to remove the letters from the center tail light without harming them. I want to be able to get them off and then possibly mount them somewhere else. Any help would be appreciated -Derek

Damn... I thought i had it licked and was working very carefully through it and then on the fat part of the E... IT BROKE! Damn these things! Satan here I come i guess... 33 bucks for a set of dumb letters sounds like a rip to me :) wonder if theres any chance of a junkyard having another center tail light where I can try again for possibly cheaper

The "E" wrinkled up, and I was done after that happened. I went in, and got the butter knife and got 'em off. I went to satan and got a new set and I put the lettering on the top of my back bumper. You can see the basic idea in this pic. It's huge, so I hope it just links. Sorry if the pic shows up. It's big un.
