I've done it once. Per Nick, you should heat it up with a blow dryer first. It'll come off easier without lifting the clear coat off the light housing. Not too sure about the clear coating thing but it was better with heat. If there is any glue left behind, just use a little rubbing alcohol and you are good to go. Hope this helps. GL

That's right
Just curious. Was your second installation successful, or they have built bubbles again?

So far so good. But I have been keeping the car dry alot (i.e., out of rain), maybe this has something to do too. Will keep you posted.

Taking them off should almost well be the reverse of putting them on ? Any risidue gets left over, some windex or goo gone or such will help remove that...

I can't believe they haven't got wet already.. How did you managed that? ....Since they have been installed correctly (with proper surface cleaning) no worries about wet or rain. That f@cking chrome material adhesive backing is dry applicable only and very sensitive when applied on minor, un-noticeable residue of silicone, wax, wet.
Once it's done correctly and have no problems so far, you will not have any bubbling problems with it. If bubbling is going to be made, it will start show-up within the first 10 days (I could see it from the 1st day)

That's why I was talking about doing a test with paper-adhesive tape (the one that car body shops are using for masking)
Apply a strip of it on the surface, press it well and and try unstick it. If surface is completely clean, you'll hear the strip making a creaking sound, what means that glue has great contact with the surface, otherwise keep cleaning and dry the surface until you hear that sound (with a new strip of tape)

This is an advice for Alkalious stickers buyers as well, which they are dry/wet applicable because they are made of PVC, not pure chrome metal like my version was.
