I have a set (weld stars) on my 67 camaro and it specifically lists that warning. I am not sure what is the purpose of the construction (maybe for weight savings) but when the stars are actually off the vehicle the face plates become two loose pieces with an inner solid center piece(Does that make any sense). You can actually insert a flathead in the gap. They don't seem to be able to withstand any side to side flexing.<br /><br />Of course the draglights probably at least don't have this sandwich issue.
