You mean the theft deterrent kit?

Data Dots are a different thing entirely.

Easiest way IMO is a punch and a hammer, drive them out.

Or if you've already got them out, the headlights should just pull out as normal. The only theft deterrent added to the lights themselves was those security bolts.

IIRC it's just the two bolts on top, then a ball and socket joint in the corner by the fender.

I find it easier to push out from the inside. Push on the high beam side and on the out-side. Works best for me.

i just did mine 2 weeks ago and i had to figure it out myself....i dont wanna make it public on how to actually do it because of thieves...just go under the bumper, take off both plastic linings below and investigate...it was sooooo much simpler than i thought it was...really simple IMO
