I noticed! In my car the foam on top of the bracket actually stuck 
to the inside of the leather "hood" to make it even more difficult...

It WAS surprisingly easy! Took me 40 minutes, but it was my first
time ever trying AND my first "big" project on my car...
(bigger than changing some bulbs and wiring)

Well eventually I ended up doing just that, BUT it gave me a great
opportunity to do some re-wiring on my (new) Lights Master Switch;
I took the load for the position-lights of of the switcht with a 
relay, and while I was at it I installed an extra relay that 
disables high and low beams when the ignition is off.

This saves the battery from getting drained when I forget to turn
off my lights and since I noticed most "modern" cars have this
as a standard feature I thought I'd put it in my D too...

If anyone is interested in how I did this, mail me and I'll
send you a brief discription. It could take a while, since I'm
working on several other DeLorean-related projects too.
