k kinda easy question to answer i bet, but ive tugged a lil on the edges and how seriously how do they frickin come off.
im just worried about cracking them.
do i have to come from underneath?
my plan is to take em off, sand em down to 600 grit smooth then do the fiberglass thing when i do my interior too.
ok anyhow my idea is to cut out like a rectangle, or whatever i like best, and put in one of those thin chrome or black tiburon led plates. my big accomplishment will be getting them to light up when i open the doors. not an electrical specialist truthfully.

I'm not sure how to remove these, as I haven't had a reason to do this myself yet...but, getting them to light up when the doors open should be a piece of cake...all you should have to do is tie them into the wiring for the lights in the doors. This wiring should enter the car from the door near the door hinge location.

And after that "pop" brace yourself for when you fall over... lmao.gif
Its just a bunch of pressure clips or whatever their called, just pull and they'll pop out.
