Default Marker Light Removal?

Hey guys, I just bought some aluminum fillers to go on my saddlebag latches. Have anyone removed the reflective marker lights? How hard are they to get un-glued?
thanks in advance.

you mean reflectors?

reflectors are glued on

warm up with blow dryer to soften adhesive, some guys use dental floss or mono filament, catch an edge and work it behind the reflector.

clean up adhesive with lighter fluid

Recently pulled mine off just as mkguitar described. They are fairly rigid, so once you get them started, they came off easy. I pulled mine off slowly to keep them from cracking or breaking. I may want to reuse them someday. I used goo-gone to clean up.

They came off much easier than the new colored inserts were to line-up and put back on.

Ya can use some WD40 or brake clean to dissolve the adhesive along with dental floss or fishing line.
