However, if you file the back edges down to a rough knife like edge you
can always claim it must have been like that when you bought the vehicle.

Knife edge plastic comes standard on the 93 ZJ. And I've got the cuts
to prove it. :(

HID (eous) lamps have come down that far in price? Driving a vehicle
in the NYC area with HID's is just asking to be driving home with a
flashlight tied to your hood.

Actually making them easier to remove is a good thing. Less
collateral damage. More typically the vehicle owner is looking
at several thousand dollars worth of body work...since the
perps want the lamps and frankly could not care less how much
damage happens to the rest of the car in getting them off
quickly.
