Ya, I figured as much...

I might remove them from my lowers, I don't think there is any fading going on there... I do have a little pitting in the clear coat on the aluminum though...

Soaked the reflectors with wd-40
10 mins....
Heated reflectors till they would move with slight pressure.
Leveraged them off with a 1" rubber fulcrum and 3/4" rigid plastic putty knife(edge refined)
Removed the residue with a microfiber cloth
Washed and polished
