HELP quick! eyelid question!

what should you use to grind the "peg" sticking out of your headlight in order to put a headlight eyelid on? I am about to have one put on, but that stupid peg is in the way and i heard you need to grind it down. What tool should i use? Thanks

no go to home depot, they have something call a glass cutter, ask FLAVOR247 hes the one who recommended it for me

it takes like 2 seconds to chop off, where it takes about an hour to file than and sand off

Yup, its a diamond wheel.
It cuts the glass like nothing and leaves it smooooth.



Even if you cannot afford the dremel, go to Harbor Frieght and get a generic rotary tool.
FYI, a dremel is a great thing to have. It comes in handy quite often.
