Sup guys I wanted to debadge my Durango. Im thinking the Durango emblem is just double sided tape so no issue there but what about the dodge on the lights? Are they posts or double sided tape. I was thinking posts cause of the heat from the lights but not sure. Anybody know yet?

Debadge 2014 Durango
Ok, I'll buy that wishing you all the best in blowing some chevy doors off! 
P.S. just confirmed that this billet oil cap will work on our 5.7L not a bad price for it. and it looks good he has most all colors too.

This is my first time being apart of a forum and I see that a lot of you guys are very handy and are capable of doing a lot of things when it come to your car. I barely was capable of putting on the mopar pedals and a Rallye name plate on my 14 Durango
Thank heavens for the Internet! I was at a dealership a couple of days ago looking closely at the taillight badges and wondering (hoping) if they could be removed. The racetrack taillight is a brilliant design but the chrome lettering really kills the vibe, particularly on the R/T. Glad to see they aren't molded in. I actually like the look of the indentations, just ditch the bling!
Awesome, will be getting tails tinted soon, never thought about removing the letters are really dont like them also. Thanks for pics and tip!
I'm trying this ASAP. I'm very nervous, lol. There's no way to crack the light or anything, is there? I know they're about $700 to replace! Going to try hairdryer + floss. What did you use to clean the gunk off?
Thanks guys, did it no problem. Surprised at how easily they popped off with a gentle pull from the needle nose pliers. I'm basically a mechanic now.
I'll post pics after I get the d washed.

I pulled mine off using a pair of long needle nose pliers; took literally 8 seconds to pull off the letters. No goo, scratches or cracks in

doing so. It looks so much better.
Holy cow.. I just debadged the light in literally, not kidding, under 30 seconds. Needle nose plier.. they pulled off with minimal effort. A few of them (like the "E") broke pulling them off, but I'm shocked at how easy that was.
Ok.. now.. what's the best way to get rid of the "DURANGO" lettering?

Man I cant believe how unnecessarily I was dreading this little project because of the potential for screwups that mar the paint..
The DODGE on the lights pulled off literally in 30 seconds with a pliers and left no residue at all...
The DURANGO pulled off with nothing more than fishing line in about 60 seconds. No heat gun. Just fishing line. Maybe the heat and humidity here?
Now I just gotta use the goo-gone.

ok.. this is done.
Before and after... I let the sun heat up the adhesive then used Goo-Gone and one of those flat plastic things they use to put vinyl on, a little elbow grease, a lot of wiping and cleaning and wiping and cleaning then washing and a little spray way, and presto. Total time start to finish (if I hadn't waited for the afternoon sun to warm it up) was about 30 minutes.

I wasn't able to grab the letters with pliers. Started scratching the tail light. Maybe I need to let them bake a little longer.

Needle Nose pliers? grab hold of a letter front with the needle nose pliers. firmly and steadily and forcefully pull straight off. The n-n-pliers shouldnt be anywhere near the lights. That way youre not even touching the lights to be able to scratch them. Requires about the same amount of force as pulling a cork thats half way out of a wine bottle.

Thanks for the info. Another one done. Took me a couple of minutes as I wanted to take my time. Didn't heat them up, but used needle nose as well. Very easy. Left no adhesive at all. As it's a lease, I'm not sure I want to remove the Durango. I don't mind as much in the black lettering. Not even sure the dealer would notice the Dodge is gone when I turn it in, but I'm sure they'd notice the lack of the Durango badge. Last couple of cars I purchased. This is my first lease in like 10 years. I don't even remember what they do to inspect. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Apparently I was just being too gentle. Too worried about damaging the D. Got everything off this afternoon. The wife liked the idea so much we did her Rogue too. Now it's like a strip club in my garage - bare asses everywhere.

Not too many of those around these parts. Lol. I'll just straight up ask the dealer as I know some folks at the dealership.
