Anyone have any details on removing the chrome bezel from 1969 Bee taillights?
How are they attached to the housing?

It looks like they took the bezel and pushed it through the lens. Then they cut off the pins an mashed them so that the lens can't be separated easily.

Anyway, I did mine by taking a dremel and carefully removing the excess metal from where they pinched the studs off on the bezel. I got enough metal off that I could carefully remove the lens from the bezel. Then, I took the bezel and had it re-chromed. I used an epoxy to re-attach the bezel to the lens. I haven't had any issues with them coming loose and I drive the car frequently.
