TBird Emblem on Tail Light

So on my rear left tail light, the TBird emblem is half broken off.

Lucky for me when I bought the car I got a spare tail light. I want to take the broken emblem off and stick the good one on..

How do I go abouts doing this?

I tried to take off the nuts that are on the back but they don't actually come off.. Is there a way to take the bird decal off any other way?

Well they aren't on mine.

They twist but they don't change position whatsoever.

That means the studs are backing out of the plastic. Common problem on the older lights. It's the only way to get the emblems off without breaking them.

I actually took my reflector/emblem off, snaded the red parts, slathered vasoline on the bird (Chrome parts) and sprayed it gloss black. Looks great.

Success!

Got them off by chipping away at it on the corners with a standard screwdrive and a hammer.

Lucky for me it didn't snap in half..

What's the best and easiest way to put the new bird decal on the tail light? Would just using super glue work well?

I tried to use 5-Minute Epoxy all it did was leave a sticky mess to clean up. Didn't hold at all. It was supposed to adhere to plastic surfaces too..
