LED Bedlight removal

[Gondul]

Anyone here remove the bedlights?

Just got my Bedrug and I'm thinking the cutout they provided is a bit large.
I'd rather cut the hole a smidge smaller and pop the light back into place.
Did a quick search but was unable to find anything and I'd rather not break them...

The lights are on there rather snug, but I'm thinking there is a clip on the top/bottom?
Anyone have a idea?

Look at steps 34-35 here and you should be set:

Awesome... Thanks!

@Edwards apparently there is also a small clip/tab on the top of the light housing not shown in the schematics... yeah I broke them both.

Ouch! Not the first time those instructions have let someone down. Found out if you can get just replacement lights?

Not yet... while a little loose, they stay in place ok.

I would imagine replacements would be a thing given that they are in the bed and likely to get broken.

Yes I would hope so just haven't checked into it

Do you think there is a way to remove them WITHOUT breaking them?

Reach up in behind and depress the tab and push them out.

Maybe with a very thin and narrow metal putty blade and remove from the top? Its been a while but I think the top was more of a clip than a tab like on the bottom.

Remove the tail light, reach in and depress the tab on top.
