Hello Zaos, many thanks for making the effort to do this, you explained it perfectly.

 

Hi I followed what you done took me a couple of hours you will need to have some basic practical skills though all good saved me £400 UK for the install

 

This is an old comment, but for anyone else reading this thread: yes, you can. I just did it. If you don't care about the light you are removing, it will be pretty easy. I was pulling one off a parts car. While trying to remove the light without damaging it, it was tricky not to melt it with the hot knife. I succeeded, but masking it would have made it easier.

Like any exacto blade work, I recommend going over the plastic lightly over and over. Best luck.
