Default How to remove plastic cover from RG headlights

Hey I need a little help. I am detailing out a friend’s Road Glide and I don’t know how to remove the plastic bubble from the fairing in front of the headlights. It is terribly crappy on the inside and since I own a EGC I am not sure how to remove…
Thanks in advance for the help guys!

There are 2 plastic tabs one on each side of the cover. But be careful the paint on that lip can be damaged real easy. I always go from the inside.
opps Nedster is right 4 tabs.

it has 4 tabs that attach it to the fairing, you can use a small screw driver wrapped in tape, or some guys use popsicle sticks to avoid scratching or chipping the paint. Just pry gently near the tabs and it should pop out

I thought I seen 4 small indentations in the bubble… Two on top and 2 on the bottom… So pry the outer edges of the bubble out of the fairing? Sounds easy.
