spalding Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 hey this is a stupid question but how are you supposed to take the headlight cages off without cutting them? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheesandrider Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Depends on the year. Early lights they just pop off, as there is a metal ring that holds the lens in. Late lights you have to cut them off as they are part of what holds the lens in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bansheesandrider Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 i think mine might be late it is a 2000 Yes, I think the change was made in the mid to late 90s, not exactly sure when they made the switch. I do know that the early lens was made of glass and the late ones are plastic as I have seen several late ones that are melted from having the lights on with covers over them. My 89 has glass lenses and I have never had a problem with melting if they get left on accidentally with the covers on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
