You can always do it the way we did -- hit a deer in the Midget at 60 mph.
The headlight trim pops right off!  Actually, to be more accurate the deer
sort of ran into us, glanced off, gave us a dirty look and went on his way.
The hardest part was finding a replacement trim ring that would actually fit
a '79 Midget -- most/all of the repros wouldn't fit correctly.
