My 2 cents........keep the 6 lights.
I would not add it, to my 66 but
if I already had 6 lights I would not
deleat them.
Good luck

If they are glued on, don't mess with them at all. Buy a set on the used parts forum or Ebay, then sell them to someone else via the same route. For every 4 or 5 of us embarrassed by the look, there is one who found it attractive.

Like others have mentioned a heat gun or hair dryer to remove those hideous things. Then either goo gone or WD40 should help you rub the adhesive off without marring the lenses. Don't use a razer blade. Just the goo gone or WD40, a rag and some elbow grease.

And may the Flying Spaghetti Monster bless you for removing those atrocities.

Good riddance! How people EVER thought this looked good baffles me. Incredibly tacky.
Throw them away/recycle the metal so that these never disgrace a Corvette again.
