Warm em up good with a heat gun and they'll come right off.

You can use the dental floss trick too. Just use the dental floss to cut the adhesive and then the goof off to get rid of the left over glue and tape.

Three of mine literally fell off with the hair dryer ... the other came off with no problem. Didn't even need any goo gone.

Go ahead and remove them. You can always install "gay" neons like I did. I'm the real teal deal baby!
