How the heck??? Removing front lenses w/out breaking plastic notch...
« on: August 23, 2007, 08:04:05 PM »
OK, I put on my new light bar but cannot for the life of me figure out how to open the indicator lights (remove lenses) without breaking the little plastic ear/notch inside the housing. I've gone through four of them... What the heck!  :(

This is one of Honda's secret moneymakers: the breakaway tab! I just use some silicon to glue em in place between bulbs once they break....

I guess I'm lucky. I bet I've had mine off and on 5-6 times and I have'nt broke one yet.
