I doubt very much if the datadots can be removed. They are microscopic in size and are sprayed onto the housing and become part of it. Anyway, why would ANYONE want to remove datadots. They identify the HIDs with the VIN, which can be tracked to the owner of the Max. A datadotted HID has little or no value in the black market because no self-respecting buyer/dealer will buy stolen property.

so you mean to say that "data dots" are microscopic microchips that are sprayed onto the headlight?

They put stickers on the side of each light and stickers on the front pass. and driver windows.......I think he's asking how to remove the lights now that the special anti theft bracket is in place
