#12109, "Removing letters from center tail light"


          

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

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 emoji
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.
