I've removed several without damage, never had a problem.
Still have the Sprite Gilly? My Father bought a '61 new in France (Air Force Pilot), brought it back. Finally threw away the French tail-lamps (red/amber) turn-signal lenses (clear) and complete yellow Lucas tripod headlamps a couple of years ago when he moved (DOH!) Also a spare set of sliding side-windows for the hardtop. Wish he would have asked me (lights were in the car for ~1year before he brought it home).
Cool little cars.
