removing 3m on Headlights?

I had this put on from mits and when i sent my HL's to evodave I guess the heat made the edges all messed up. Whats the methods of removing and will removing cause damage?

Use a heat gun and peel it off. Then just clean up any sticky residue and you're good to go. Good luck.

I helped my buddy debadge his WRX. We used all sorts of stuff. WD-40, off brand goo-gone, a heat gun on low setting, and fishing line. The best combo of all of those was the heat gun and fishing line. Just heat it up a bit and then put the fishing line behind whatever you are trying to get off and slowly cut through it. Then heat up whatever residue of the glue is left on and roll it off with your fingers. Don't use your nails, it could scratch the finish a bit. For decals like pinstripping just use a heat gun and they pull right off. Good luck. A bit of soapy water helps too.
