yellow sticker removal

Anyone know how involved it is to remove the yellow sticker from the laser lights before I jump into it?

Yes, I have OCD.

The actual removal im sure is easy but I imagine there are probably not too many people who have been willing to cut open and then have to reseal their $5000 lights just to get at that sticker.

I’ve thought the same thing about why they put the sticker inside and not outside the housing on top of the light assembly in the engine bay. It’s very distracting lol

Not sure if it is accessible when removing the modules to do the LED boards. Maybe using a bent flat end spatula and pick tool.

I could be wrong but having done the led swap myself on my car, I don’t see any possible way you’re getting to the sticker through there.

No crack just dirty, I drive it 400 miles/week, wash on weekends. Full PPF too

See what I mean about the yellow sticker? once you notice it, it’s hard not to, at least for me

I bought a yellow car just to match that inside sticker so it wouldn’t bother me.

True story.

New lip looks nice!!! I don’t see any stickers.

But honestly man. Those headlights would be so expensive to replace. I would not mess with them. That’s just my personal opinion. If anything people gonna be amazed that it has lasers in there.

What about the edge of your PPF peeling and having dirt under it?
