Never underestimate humans, desperate enough and we as a race can do just about anything. Like escape from alcatraz, steal the headlights off of a car, or even try to break into a minimart by going through the roof. I bet theres someone who could steal the seats out of your car in daylight.

They just pry right out, the plastic clips snap off the bottom and they're gone. You need to watch out when shopping for lits that they are intact and the clip is in place, if it isn't it's almost a certainty that they are stolen.

I wondered about having the VIN etched in to them maybe or putting stickers on saying "security etched" or "security tagged" or something.

It actually doesn't take much to take these lights.

All you have to do really is pull up on the front of the headlights and they are gone. I demonstrated this at one of the get togethers with my headlights.

I once had an idiot put his cigarette out on my headlight. I was pissed!

If you don't clip them in right then the first time you touch the brakes they come out all by themselves... according to one of the admins at PPBB *lol*

That's a funky paint job you have going on there djomlas. One second its grey and the next its green... Unless its something they put in the coffee this morning... maybe LSD???
