Plastic Adjustment Nipple

What would be the best way to remove the plastic adjustment nipple on a stock headlight lens for the purpose of putting on headlight trim?

I would say a dremel tool with a small cut off wheel or a sanding drum. since the trim will cover the small area you are taking off i wouldnt worry about scratches. post some pics and how you decide to install.

They still make 110? I used to have one of those. Along with other several pieces of obsolete technology. Still got my Beta and my reel to reel player. Got a real killer bootleg of Zeppelin at the Forum in 73' on reel to reel tape.

Zeppelin @ the Forum in '73, huh? Was that the same tour that they recorded the Song Remains The Same at MSG? Probably not, I think the Song Remains The Same tour was '74. That'd still be a killer reel though, probably a lot of Zeppelin III stuff. That use to me my favorite album; Gallows Pole, Celebration Day, That's The Way, Friends, man I use to love that LP!

I might have ya beat on the obsolete gadget's though Jared. I still have the Panasonic 'Toot-a-loop' am radio, .........."It's an 'S', it's an 'O', it's a crazy radio". I've got my Mattel Electronics Intellivision and the hand held Football, Football II, & Baseball games from circa 1977. I held off on wearin' the first Who 'farewell tour' concert jersey from 1982, and still have the ticket stubs from the 1979 Zeppelin concert at Chicago Stadium (since been demolished), that never happened because John Bonham died the month previous.

I wanna be buried with that crap.
