I THINK they can be pulled off with no problems, nothng that a little polish shouldn't remove...

why don't you guys just get a pencil and start shading the edges of the taillights on paper. it will show the lines of the amber where it cuts off and then you cut the paper and the cut the vinyl accordingly. thats what i did and its perfect

The amber is painted on the inside of the lense, the only protruding lines are at the curve of the amber. I guess you could use painters tape to mark the outside of the lines than shade the edges.
