I tried to bake mine open, they would not budge, at all. And I really cooked them good.

But it can be done...somehow...

Get the true OEM night runner ones, dont get the clone/ebay ones. They have gray trim not black, and also a thin layer of clear or something is coming off mine.

ebay/clone ones, On my truck. You can clearly see the gray trim area, Factory ones thats black.

The aftermarket lights (non Mopar) come with either gray or black surrounds. The ones I picked up on Amazon are all black.

I bought the clamp I needed to try to remove those bolts so I can install the bull bar. Going to give that a shot in the morning.

Thanks for the help guys.

I could only back those bolts so far. I grinded down the plate on the driver side in order to get it in. It's secure - not going anywhere so I am happy.

Need to do something with that front bumper.... It's cracked all over, father in law hit a snow bank.
