im trying to remove the black bezel trim so i can put on some metal trim.

any ideas on how to remove the plastic glass from the bezel trim?

I'm not sure but I think it's siliconed on, in which case a heat gun or hair dryer would melt it, then you just pry gently to pull it off.

its not that difficult to use a heat gun, i used a hair dryer and it took me 15 minutes.

you could but if you have a heatgun that would probably be faster anyways

I'd worry about warping it in the oven, IIRC it's not as robust as the headlights.

I know Harbor Freight has a $10 heatgun on sale sometimes.. totally worth the money I've used mine a lot.

Go buy a heat gun, if you try cutting it off with a dremel you're going to ruin it.

$20 for a Wagner dual temp gun at ur local home depot. i use it all the time and it peels paint off pretty easily

this man is correct. you have to dremel the black piece of the bezel out and then silicone it back in. just take your time and be careful.
